The first enantioselective total synthesis of isishippuric acid B bearing a novel 4,5-seco-6-norquadrane skeleton was accomplished from (R)-citronellal with use of a Diels-Alder cycloaddition and an intramolecular Michael addition as the ring-forming steps. Comparison of the optical rotation of the synthetic material with that of the natural product confirmed the absolute configuration of isishippuric acid B to be 1R, 2R, 8R, and 11R.

The first synthesis of (-)-isishippuric acid A was accomplished in two steps from a bicyclic synthetic intermediate for isishippuric acid B, which confirmed the structure of isishippuric acid A, including its absolute stereochemistry.
