Starting from condensation of two iridoid synthones, (3S,8R) -benzyloxy-1-iriden-7-al and (3R)-7-chloro-1-iridene, the fusicoccane framework with proper stereochemistry of the 8β,9α-glycol function was synthesized. Stereochemistry of the glycol moieties on the flexible medium ring was confirmed, as well as the NOE evidence, by 1H NMR comparisons with the data reported for natural products.
