Biomimetic synthesis of theonellin isocyanide (1; 4-[(1E,3E)-1,5-dimethyl-1,3-hexadienyl]-1-isocyano-1-methylcyclohexane) has been achieved by employing the triflic acid promoted Ritter type raction with acetonitrile at low temperature (-78 °C) to convert a 4-substituted 1-methylcyclohexene into the corresponding 1-acetamido-1-methylcyclohexane. Julia trans olefination was employed to construct the diene moiety.
