The first total synthesis of pandamarilactone-1,
an
alkaloid of Pandanus amaryllifolius, is reported.
The nine-step synthesis features furan oxidation with singlet oxygen
and then spiro-N,O-acetalization and elimination
to generate the natural product and further Pandanus alkaloids, pandamarilactonines A–D.
