Preparation and Spectroscopic Data of (+)-7.
To a stirred solution of cyanohydrin 6 (1.41 g, 4.30 mmol) in dry CH2Cl2 (40 mL) was added at 0 °C DMAP (4.20 g, 34 mmol) and phenyl chlorothionoformate (2.40 mL, 17.2 mmol) under an argon atmosphere. After 12 h at r.t., the reaction mixture was poured into H2O and extracted with Et2O. The combined organic extracts were washed with H2O, dried, filtered and concentrated. To a stirred solution of the crude phenoxythiocarbonyl ester in toluene (30 mL) was added tri-n-butyltin hydride (4.56 mL, 17.2 mmol) and a catalytic amount of AIBN in toluene (20 mL) under an argon atmosphere. The reaction mixture was stirred under reflux for 1 h, cooled and concentrated. The resulting oily residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to give 827 mg of pure (+)-7 (65% yield for the two steps); [α]D

A suspension of nitrile (+)-7 (800 mg, 2.71 mmol) and para-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (1.13 g, 5.94 mmol) in toluene (20 mL) was placed in an oil bath at 120 °C. After 3.5 h, the solution was cooled to r.t. and filtered through a pad of Celite. The solvent was evaporated and a silica gel column chromatography gave 420 mg (85% yield) of (-)-8; [α]D

Preparation and Spectroscopic Data of (+)-11.
To a stirred solution of (-)-10 (300 mg, 1.21 mmol) in a mixture of t-BuOH (20 mL) and 2-methyl-2-butene (2.5 mL), a solution of 80% NaClO2 (683 mg, 6.04 mmol) and NaH2PO4 (1.16 g, 9.67 mmol) in H2O (10 mL) was added at r.t. The resulting mixture was stirred for 15 min then diluted with brine. The aqueous phase was saturated with NaCl and extracted thoroughly three times with EtOAc. The combined organic phases were washed with brine, dried, filtered, and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to give 260 mg (81% yield) of pure acid (+)-11 as white crystals; mp 130 °C; [α]D

Preparation and Spectroscopic Data of (+)-Ricciocarpin A (1).
A solution of (+)-11 (160 mg, 0.60 mmol) and CeCl3·7H2O (450 mg, 1.21 mmol) in MeOH (20 mL) was stirred 12 h at r.t. The solution was cooled to -18 °C, NaBH4 (204 mg, 5.40 mmol) was added in three portions (3 × 1 h) and the mixture was slowly allowed to rise to r.t. After 12 h, the reaction mixture was poured into ice-water, acidified (HCl 6 N, pH = 1) and stirred for 30 min at r.t. The solution was saturated with NaCl and extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried and filtered. Concentration of the filtrate followed by silica gel column chromatography gave 127 mg (85% yield) of a 6:1 mixture of (+)-1 and the C-3 epimer. Two recrystallizations from MeOH afforded pure (+)-ricciocarpin A(1) as white needles; mp 109 °C [lit.
