Abstract: 3,7,11,15-Tetramethyl-12-tert-butyldiphenylsilyl ether-14-oxo-2E,6E,10E-hex-adecatrienal(11), the precursor of isosarcophytol-A, has been synthesized via six steps with (E, E)-farnesol (4) as starting material.The key steps in the synthesis are regionselective oxidation of farnesyl acetate (5) and aldol condensation of aldehyde 8 with methyl isopropyl ketone.

Key words: Macrocyclic diterpenoid, Isosarcophytol-A,3,7,11,15-Tetramethyl-12-tert-butyldiphenylsilyl ether-14-oxo-2E,6E,10E-hexadecatrienal, Aldol condensation
