Abstract:The first total synthesis of (−)-merrillianin (1), which is a natural sesquiterpene with a tricyclic structure having a cyclopentane ring and five-and seven-membered lactone parts, is demonstrated. This asymmetric total synthesis enabled the absolute stereostructure determination of naturally occurring (−)-1.
