Total syntheses of (+)-9,10-syn-copalol (5), the pyrophosphate ester of which is a likely intermediate in the biosynthesis of 9,10-syn diterpenes, and its 9,10-anti isomer 39 are reported. Lithiation of (-)-(6R)-6,7-epoxygeranyl p-tolylsulfone (-)-19 or (+/-)-19 followed by alkylation with (E,Z)- and (E,E)-8-bromo-9-(trimethylsilyl)geranyl benzyl ethers (15a and 15b) and selective reductive cleavage of the toluenesulfonyl and benzyl groups afforded (2E,6E,10E,14R)- and (2E,6Z,10E,14R)-14,15-epoxy-19-(trimethylsilyl)geranylgeraniols ((-)-24a and (+/-)-26a). Lewis acid treatment of the benzoate and/or acetates of (-)-24a and (+/-)-26a effected efficient but almost stereorandom bicyclizations to 9,10-syn- and 9,10-anti-labda-8(17),13(E)-diene-3-beta,15-diol esters (27a,b and 28a,b) which were converted to (+)-9,10-syn- and (+)-9,10-anti-copalol.
