An efficient total synthesis of d,l-coronafacic acid (2) has been achieved from 4-cyclopentene-1,3-dione (4). The synthesis involves keto ester 7 as a key intermediate that is conveniently prepared by the Diels–Alder addition of enedione 4 to ethyl 4-ethyl-2,4-pentadienoate (5).

Ethyl E-5-(4-ethyl-2-hydroxyphenyl)-2-pentenoate (7), prepared in four steps from m-ethylphenol (9), was converted via Wessely oxidation with lead tetraacetate followed by intramolecular Diels–Alder reaction in boiling xylene to ethyl 1-acetyloxy-6-ethyl-2,3,3a,4,5,7a-hexahydro-8-oxo-1,5-methano-1H-indene-anti-4-carboxylate (16). Hydrogenation of 16 followed by mild hydrolysis gave ethyl 6-ethyloctahydro-1-hydroxy-8-oxo-1,5-methano-1H-indene-anti-4-car-boxylate (24), which on oxidation with periodate gave 4-(ethoxycarbonyl)-6-ethyloctahydro-1-oxo-1H-indene-5-car-boxylic acid (26). Oxidative decarboxylation of this gave a mixture of ethyl 6-ethyl-2,3,3a,6,7,7a-hexahydro-1-oxo-1H-indene-4-carboxylate (31) and ethyl 6-ethyl-2,3,3a,4,7,7a-hexahydro-1-oxo-1H-indene-4-carboxylate (32); the latter was converted to the former by ethanolic sodium ethoxide. Hydrolysis of 31 with hot hydrochloric acid gave (±)-coronafacic acid (4).
