✦ Synopsis
Total synthesis of (-)-verruearol (1) was achieved starling from D-glucose-derived bicyclic lactone 4 through l) a stereoselective asymmetric quatemization of the a-carbon of the lactone, 2) Dieckmann cyclization for access to the C-ring equivalent, 3) a skeletal rearrangement for the trichothecene ring system, and 4) the final stereoselective epoxidation of an exo-methylene group.

Two tritium labelled trichothecenes, vermcarol(2) and verrucarin A (5) were synthesized with high specific activity. Oxidation of vermcarol(1) to the 15dehydrovermcarol(3) followed by sodium borotritide reduction yielded [ W3H]vermcarol(2). Reduction of 16mesyloxyvermcarin A (7) in a special buffero
## Abstract The title compounds have been synthesized starting from verrucarol and diacetoxyscripenol (anguidine), (__E, Z__)‐muconic half ester and a derivative of verrucarinic acid. The latter has been prepared in optically active form from dimethyl 3‐methylglutarate.
