This paper summarises our detailed study towards the biomimetic synthesis of the complex polypropionate derived natural product (+/-)-9,10-deoxytridachione. A previous study based on the elaboration of functionalised gamma-pyrones allowed us to synthesise cyercene A. The same efficient methodology has been applied for the elaboration of a more complex fully conjugated gamma-pyrone polyene. Our approach centred on a key tandem Suzuki-coupling/electrocyclisation reaction, which supports a possible biosynthetic pathway for this class of natural products. A related compound was obtained during our studies, which we identified as the correct structure of ocellapyrone A. (C) 2007 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
