Previously we reported a synthesis of 3 dl-phyllostine 1 and conversion of epoxydonl) 1 (phyllosino13)) t o other minor constituents isolated from culture broth of phyllosticta sp 4) . In this communication we would like to describe regiospecific syntheses of dl-phyllostine 1 and dl-epoxydon 9 (phyllosinol), both of which are physiollogically active compounds among highly oxygenated cyclohexane derivatives occurred naturally 5) . 0 0 HOCb 0 :::o HOC?
