The first, concise total synthesis of (+/-)-tensyuic acids B, C, and E, using chemoselective formal S(N)2' type Grignard reactions and selective esterification, is described. In addition, the optical purity of natural (+/-)tensyuic acid B was determined using Chirabite-AR. Synthetic tensyuic acids, together with their intermediate compounds, were found to possess useful bioactive properties, with some of them showing potent activity against Trypanosorna brucei brucei strain GUTat 3.1.
