Optically active (−)-deacetyl anisomycin and the enantiomer (+)-deacetyl anisomycin were synthesized starting with (+)-2R 3R tartaric acid. The asymmetric centers of the tartaric acid correspond to the C-2 and C-3 asymmetric centers of anisomycin. N-Benzyl tartarimide (3) was attacked by the Grignard reagent of anisyl chloride followed by lithium aluminium hydride reduction to give two diols (7) and (8) separated by thin-layer chromatography. The diol (8) was debenzylated giving the natural (−)-deacetyl anisomycin. The diol (7) was converted into the epoxide (10) by selective acetylation of the C-4 hydroxy group followed by treatments with phosphorus pentachloride and sodium ethoxide. Opening of the epoxide ring of 10 in boiling acetic acid followed by basic hydrolysis gave (+)-N-benzyl deacetyl anisomycin (11) which was debenzylated to give (+)-deacetyl anisomycin.

The structure IIIa previously proposed for the β-diketone with an unsaturated side chain, obtained by the action of alkali on the optically active compound of Tigaso oil, is confirmed by the formation of methyl stearyl ketone and resorcinol monomethyl ether in the pyrolysis of the methyl ether (IV). An anomalous lithium aluminium hydride reduction of the methyl ether (IV) and other reactions are discussed. Unsuccessful attempts have been made to synthesize the tribasic acid resulting from sodium hypobromite oxidation of the β-diketone (IIIb).

The ozonolysis of phyllocladene (2) and isophyllocladene (12) has been carried out under a number of different conditions and the ozonide (34) of isophyllocladene has been isolated and characterized. Conversion of phyllocladene (2) into the diacid (20) has been accomplished by several routes from the norketone (3). Isophyllocladene (12) has been converted into (+)-podocarp-8(14)-en-13-one (1), an optically active relay which is useful in synthesis. The route involves ozonolysis of isophyllocladene, Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of the keto aldehyde (25), lithium aluminium hydride reduction of the ester (27), and chromium trioxide-pyridine oxidation of the resulting keto aldehyde (32) which gives the keto acid (30) in 26% overall yield. Oxidative decarboxylation then affords the enone (1) in 14% yield.

Syntheses leading to compounds related to the bronchodilator (–)- terbutaline via optically active cyanohydrins suffered unexpected partial racemization during lithium aluminium hydride reduction of key amide intermediates.
