The total synthesis of the 2-pyrone natural products nectriapyrone, aplysiopsenes A-C, ent-aplysiopsene D, phomapyrones A and D, and of 8,9-dehydroxylarone were achieved by Wittig olefination starting with vermopyrone. Infectopyrone was synthesized by Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction starting with phomapyrone D. Racemic phomapyrone C methyl ether was obtained by hydrogenation of nectriapyrone. The total syntheses were achieved starting from commercially available 3,5-heptanedione and led to the desired natural products in 18-46% over 5-6 steps, whereupon all five-step syntheses were carried out with a single chromatographic workup. The total synthesis of infectopyrone, aplysiopsenes A-D, of phomapyrones A and D, and of 8,9-dehydroxylarone were achieved for the first time, giving unambiguous proof for the proposed structures of these natural products.
