Abstract

The first total synthesis of onchitriol II, a cytotoxic metabolite of mollusc Onchidium sp., is described. It employs mild cyclization method [DMSO - (COCl)2 or Ph3P - CCl4] of triketides bearing optically active functional groups to the corresponding γ-pyrones as a key step. Additional synthesis of some diastereoisomers provided a possibility to revise the structure of closely related onchitriol I.
