title: Stereoselective synthesis of (+)-11betaH,13-dihydroestafiatin, (+)-11betaH,13-dihydroludartin, (-)-compressanolide, and (-)-11betaH,13-dihydromicheliolide from santonin.
abstract: Starting from 2 and 3, obtained from santonin (1), we have synthesized natural guaianolides 4-7. Chemoselective epoxidation of 2 gave (+)-11betaH,13-dihydroestafiatin (4), and epoxidation of 3 followed by regioselective elimination of the hydroxyl group afforded (+)-11betaH,13-dihydroludartin (5). Sharpless' mild regioselective ring-opening of 4 and 5 followed by hydrogenolysis yielded (-)-compressanolide (6) and (-)-11betaH,13-dihydromicheliolide (7), respectively.
