Abstract

An efficient procedure for the isolation of the sesquiterpene ilicic acid (3) on a multigram scale of extracts obtained from aerial parts of Inula viscosa (Asteraceae) was developed. Acid 3 is an appropriate starting material for short, enantiospecific syntheses of β‐eudesmol (1) and α‐eudesmol (2), natural products featuring significant antiangiogenic and anti‐Alzheimer properties. Synthesis of 1 was achieved in six steps and the synthesis of 2 in seven, producing overall yields of 52 and 41 %, respectively.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2009)

The Diels-Alder reaction of the title compound 4 and octatrienol 10, which were prepared from 44methoxy-5-methylene-2(5H)-furanone and furfuryl alcohol or D-glyceraldehyde, respectively, produced in high yield a mixture of stereo-and regio-isomeric spirotetronates: 14, X5, and 16 in about 65:25:10 r
