The first total synthesis of racemic corymbolone, an eudesmane sesquiterpene isolated from Cyperus species used in traditional medicine to treat many diseases, is reported. In the developed sequence, the immediate precursor of corymbolone is the diol β-corymbolol, an epimer at C1 of the natural α-corymbolol. Thus, starting from the readily available Wieland-Miescher Ketone, the title compounds were achieved in 11 and 12 steps, respectively, in ca. 3% overall yield.

Biocatalytic approaches have been investigated in order to isolate the enantiomers of Wieland–Miescher ketone (1) and of its alcoholic derivatives (cis-2 and trans-3). Specifically, two enzymes from our in-house metagenomic collection of oxidoreductases, IS2-SDR and Dm7α-HSDH, catalyzed the kinetic resolution of the starting racemic ketone 1 or its complete conversion into two diastereomeric products, respectively. Moreover, the kinetic resolution of the racemic cis-alcohol (2) was very efficiently obtained (E?2.000) by lipase PS catalyzed acetylation in dry acetone. All the products were isolated with ee≥95 %. Simple chemical elaborations of some of them allowed to isolate the missing enantiomers.

The first enantioselective total synthesis of JBIR-03 and asporyzin C, indole diterpenoids of fungal origin exhibiting a range of pharmacologically important biological activities, has been accomplished from a known bicyclic keto alcohol in 13 and 14 steps, respectively. A hydroxy-directed cyclopropanation and Pd(II)-mediated indole ring formation were exploited as the key steps to obtain a pivotal pentacylic intermediate, which was converted into asporyzin C via chain elongation using cross-metathesis and then into JBIR-03 by Pd(II)-catalyzed tetrahydrofuran ring formation in an exclusively diastereoselective manner.
