Abstrakt: Synthesis of the originally assigned structure of the styryl tetrahydropyranol-dihydropyranone natural product cryptoconcatone H from C 2-symmetric (±)-1,8-nonadiene-4,6-diol is reported. Desymmetrization by Mitsunobu reaction with crotonic acid established the requisite inter-ring stereochemical relationship and was followed by a highly diastereoselective Re2 O7-catalyzed Prins cyclization with cinnamaldehyde to construct the 2,4,6- cis -tetrahydropyranol ring. Ring-closing metathesis resulted in formation of the dihydropyranone ring and completed the synthesis in three steps and 32% overall yield. The brevity of the synthesis is the result of the recognition of hidden, inter-ring symmetry in the target and the ensuing choice of an appropriately symmetric diol as our starting material.
