A general enantiospecific synthesis of isochromanquinones is presented. This entails an efficient synthesis of (3aS, 5S, 7aR)-7-bromo-3,3a,5,7a-tetrahydro-5-methyl-2H-furo[3,2-b]pyran-2-one (12) and ultimately the lithium agent 15 from commercially available L-rhamnose. Addition of 15 to the appropriate cyclobutenedione followed by thermolysis of the resulting cyclobutenone leads to the isochromanquinones 16a-c. In an analogous fashion the naturally occurring product, (-)-nanaomycin D, was synthesized. In addition, new methodology involving the ring expansion of iminocyclobutenones to aminophenols was discovered.
