An expeditious synthesis of the marine sesquiterpene helianane enclosing an unusual benzoxocane ring system is described employing ring-closing metathesis as the key step. Helianane has been further converted to the naturally occurring C-10 bromo and chloro derivatives.

As part of our program to synthesize compounds with potential antifertility properties, we have prepared certain lo-oxa-11-desoxy-prostaglandin analogs.2
For some time we have been engaged in a research program having 1 as its main objective the chemical synthesis of modified prostaglandins . Among the numerous total syntheses now available, one reported by the Harvard group 2 was of particular interest to us, because it is stereo-
The oxaprostaglandin analog (la) , in which an oxygen heteroatom replaces a methylene group in the side chain of the natural substance (lb), has interesting biological properties.
