The details of the first total synthesis of a natural thapsane 1g containing three contiguous quaternary carbon atoms, starting from cyclogeraniol (9) is described. The Claisen rearrangement of 9 with methoxypropene in the presence of acatalytic amount of propionic acid produced ketone 10. Rhodium acetate-catalyzed intramolecular cyclopropanation of alpha-diazo-beta-keto ester 12, obtained from 10 via beta-keto ester 8, furnished cyclopropyl keto ester 7. Lithium in liquid ammonia reductive cleavage of cyclopropyl compound 7 gave a 1:1 mixture of hydrindanone 6 and ketol 13. Wittig methylenation of 6 furnished ester 21. Epoxidation of 21, followed by BF3-OEt2-catalyzed rearrangement of epoxide 23 afforded hemiacetal 25. Treatment of hemiacetal 25 with triethylsilane in trifluoroacetic acid furnished lactone 22, a degradation product of various thapsanes. Finally, DIBAH reduction of lactone 22 generated the thapsane 1g.
