A new route toward puupehenone-related bioactive metabolites from (−)-sclareol, based on the palladium(II)-mediated diastereoselective cyclization
of a drimenylphenol, is described. Utilizing this, the first enantiospecific synthesis of the antitumor and antimalarial (−)-15-oxopuupehenol,
together with improved syntheses of (+)-puupehenone, (+)-puupehedione, and (+)-15-cyanopuupehenone, were accomplished.
