Abstract
In this report, the originally proposed rupestonic acid (5) and pechueloic acid (3) were efficiently synthesized. The chiral lactone 13, recycled from the degradation of saponin glycosides, was utilized to prepare the key chiral fragment 11. During the exploration of this convergent assembly strategy, the ring-closing metathesis (RCM), SmI2-prompted intermolecular addition, and [2,3]-Wittig rearrangement proved to be effective transformations for the synthesis of subunits.
