Abstract

Abstract In connection with breynin A having a significant hypocholesterolemic activity in rats, an optically active perhydrobenzothiophene has been synthesized starting from L- carvone in 11% overall yield. Furthermore, this sulfur-containing bicyclic segment has been successfully converted into an oxygenated breynolide.
