Total syntheses of (±)-α- and β-acorenols and (±)-α- and β-epi-acorenols, spiro[4.5]decane sesquiterpenes, isolated from the western Australian sandalwood oil, have been accomplished employing a combination of Ireland ester Claisen rearrangement and RCM r

The metal-ammonia reduction of the cyclopentabenzofuran derivative (2b) afforded a mixture of 4-epi-β-acorenol (5), a disubstituted olefin (8) as the main product, and a perhydro compound (9).Compound 8 was converted to 5 via the exo-diene (15).Dehydration of 5 afforded the 4-epi-β-acoradiene (6), selective reduction of which gave the monoolefin (7), and then the allylic oxidation of 7 gave (+/-)-acorenone (3) in good yield.Keywords - acorane-alaskane sesquiterpene; acorenone; cyclopentabenzofuran; total synthesis; 4-epi-β-acorenol; 4-epi-α-acorenol; 4-epi-β-acoradiene; metal-ammonia reduction; conjugate reduction; terminal olefin reduction.

Cyclopentabenzofuran derivatives (5a) and (5b) were synthesized from spirodienone esters (6a) and (6b), respectively, and the utility of these intermediates in acorane-alaskane sesquiterpene synthesis is illustrated by their conversion into (+/-)-β-acorenol (4a) and (+/-)-acorenone (1).
