A total synthesis of the marine sponge meroterpenoid (+)-aureol has been achieved in 12 steps (6% overall yield) from (+)-sclareolide. Key steps of the synthesis include a biosynthetically inspired sequence of 1,2-hydride and methyl shifts, and a biomimet

Biologically important and structurally unique marine natural products avarone (1), avarol (2), neoavarone (3), neoavarol (4) and aureol (5), were efficiently synthesized in a unified manner starting from (+)-5-methyl-Wieland- Miescher ketone 10. The synthesis involved the following crucial steps: i) Sequential BF3·Et2O-in-duced rearrangement/ cyclization reaction of 2 and 4 to produce 5 with complete stereoselectivity in high yield (2 → 5 and 4 → 5); ii) strategic salcomine oxidation of the phenolic compounds 6 and 8 to derive the corresponding quinones 1 and 3 (6 → 1 and 8 →3); and iii) Birch reductive alkylation of 10 with bromide 11 to construct the requisite carbon framework 12 (10 + 11 → 12). An in vitro cytotoxicity assay of compounds 1-5 against human histiocytic lymphoma cells U937 determined the order of cytotoxic potency (3 > 1 > 5 > 2 > 4) and some novel aspects of structure-activity relationships.

A novel marine natural product, (+)-aureol (1), was efficiently synthesized starting from the cis-fused decalin derivative 4. The synthetic method features boron trifluoride etherate-promoted rearrangement/cyclization reaction of (+)-arenarol (2) to form
