Abstract An alternative total synthesis of bolivianine in twelve steps is herein reported on the basis of our previous successful bioinspired total synthesis. The present total synthesis features straightforward transformation from an aldol product to the butenolide of the target molecule, and stereoselective Diels-Alder cycloaddition to construct ring E, as well as the final spontaneous IMHDA process

We report the first total synthesis of bolivanine in a 14 step pathway involving the synthesis of onoseriolide. Our synthesis features a palladium-catalyzed intramolecular cyclopropanation involving an allylic metal carbene and a Diels-Alder/intramolecular hetero-Diels-Alder cascade, allowing the single-step assembly of a tricyclic system with proper configuration. The synthetic efforts validate our modified biogenetic hypothesis and allow us to confirm the absolute configuration of bolivianine.
Asymmetric Total Synthesis of Onoseriolide, Bolivianine, and Isobolivianine
efforts on the total synthesis of bolivianine (1) and isobolivianine (2), involving the synthesis of onoseriolide (3). The first generation synthesis of bolivianine was completed in 21 steps by following a chiral resolution strategy. Based on the potential biogenetic relationship between bolivianine (1), onoseriolide (3), and β‐(E)‐ocimene (8), the second generation synthesis of bolivianine was biomimetically
