Formal Total Synthesis of Salvinorin A

Abstract: The generation of the quaternary stereocenter at the C9 position of salvinorin A precursors by the Claisen rearrangement was investigated. The required allyl alcohol was prepared from a Wieland‐Miescher ketone using a known γ‐hydroxylation, reduction of the enone double bond, cyanohydrin formation, and elimination, yielding an unsaturated nitrile. A two‐step reduction led to the required allyl alcohol. The subsequent Johnson‐Claisen rearrangement provided a mixture of two diastereomeric 1,4‐unsaturated esters in a ratio of around 2.6: 1. The major isomer could be converted to a key intermediate of the Hagiwara synthesis of salvinorin A.
