Abstract

The carbon skeleton of marine polyether triterpenes: thyrsiferol, dehydrothyrsiferol, thyrsenols A and B has been constructed. Carbon-carbon bonds were successfully created by nucleophilic opening of terminal epoxides and palladium catalyzed cross coupling. Oxygen containing stereocenters were set by asymmetric epoxide formation and asymmetric dihydroxylation. Cyclic ethers were formed by acid catalyzed hydroxyepoxide oxacyclizations, tungsten promoted alkynol endocyclization, and the Nakata rearrangement.
