Abstract

The irregular terpenoid structure of 1 and the associated significant biological activity are expected to prompt further reports on its synthesis. 6 We have initiated a comprehensive programme into the synthesis of these structurally intriguing new terpenoid compounds and have recently reported a synthesis of heliannuol A and D. 7 We now report a synthesis of the methyl ether of an epimer of heliannuol E. ... We envisaged that a properly substituted benzopyranone carboxylate ...
