Chemistry and Stereochemistry of Iridoids, XIX. – Two Straightforward EPC Syntheses with Chemical Evidence of Absolute Configuration of (+)‐Mitsugashiwa Lactone from (S)‐(−)‐Citronellol and Aucubin

Enantiomerically pure (+)‐Mitsugashiwa lactone (9) was prepared in eight steps from (S)‐(−)‐citronellol (1), whereas only four steps were required for the conversion of hexaacetylaucubin (10) into 9. Both starting materials are readily available in large quantities. The synthesis of 9 from 1 establishes the absolute configuration at C‐7 in 9. Conversely, the synthesis of 9 from 10 confirms the absolute configuration at C‐4a and C‐7a in 9.
