4,5,6,7-Tetrahydroisobenzofurans, corresponding to the AC(D)E ring structure of viridin with required substituents on the A-ring, were synthesized via Diels-Alder adduct of a furan derivative and maleic anhydride with high regio- and stereoselectivities. Key steps in this synthesis included regioselective ring opening, stereoselective epoxidation, and AlMe3-mediated regioselective epoxide opening followed by stereoselective C-methylation.
