Abstract

We describe herein an improved chiral‐pool strategy for assembling the core structure 3 (both antipodes) of various A‐seco terpenoids that have allowed us to prepare natural galbanic acid [(–)‐1] from (S)‐(–)‐pulegone [(–)‐2]. Furthermore, we were able to increase both the yield and step efficiency of the synthesis of marneral [(+)‐7] as well as to access higher homologues of ent‐galbanic acid [(+)‐4], ent‐secodrial [(+)‐5], and bis‐epi‐secochiliotrin (6) from (R)‐(+)‐pulegone [(+)‐2].
