%X Totarol(1) has been converted into the nagilactone-A analogue (25) by oxidative decarboxylation of the acid (18). Acid (18) was formed from the benzyl ester (20) after removal of the protecting group by hydrogenolysis, thereby circumventing a difficult hydrolysis step encountered in a previous conversion of the methyl ester (19) into (25).
