Abstract: The total synthesis of natural macrocyclic diterpene (±)-Sinulariol-A(1), a marine cembraniol, starting from geranioLIs described.The key steps are the chromium-induced intramolecular cyclization of the ω-formyl-β-methoxycarbonylallyl halide 9, the phosphine-catalyzed Morita-Baylis-Hillman addition of methyl acrylate to aldehyde 5 and chlorination reaction of ester 7.The 14-membered ring cis-hydroxy ester 10was then underwent reduction with LiAlH4to produce the title compound(±)-1 in 85% yield.

Key words: Cembrane-type macrocyclic diterpene, Natural product, Total synthesis, (±)-Sinulariol-A
