Abstract
Chloranthalactones A, B, F, 9-hydroxy heterogorgiolide, and shizukanolide E are a family of natural lindenane-type sesquiterpenoids isolated mainly from chloranthaceae. A general synthetic strategy was accomplished by us for the racemic total syntheses of the five natural products. The key steps included substrate-controlled Matteson epoxidation of ketone and highly diastereoselective intramolecular Hodgson cyclopropanation to construct the challenging cis, trans-3/5/6 tricyclic skeleton, along with a methodology developed for the γ-alkylidenebutenolide ring formation.
