摘要

Asymmetric total syntheses of heliannuol E and epi-heliannuol E were achieved in 10 and 13 steps, respectively, from the commercially available starting materials. The syntheses feature an intramolecular attacking on the sulfate to form the dihydropyran ring of heliannuol E and an acyl transfer-secondary carbocation capture sequence to construct the dihydropyran ring of epi-heliannuol E.
