Total synthesis of (-)-barbatusol, (+)-demethylsalvicanol, (-)-brussonol, and (+)-grandione.
The icetexane-based diterpenes (-)-barbatusol, (+)-demethylsalvicanol, and (-)-brussonol were synthesized. Synthetic demethylsalvicanol was dimerized to produce (+)-grandione using aqueous Diels-Alder conditions.
