2',2'-Dimethyl chromeno dihydrochalcones are very rare in nature as plant secondary metabolites. Recently we have reported three such compounds from the plant Crotalaria ramosissima. Chromeno dihydrochalcones contain a 2',2'-dimethyl benzopyran system, which are frequently encountered in many natural products and exhibit a variety of biological activities.

[structure: see text]. 8-O-methylpopolohuanone E (2) was synthesized in a highly convergent manner starting from the cis-fused decalin derivative accessible from the (-)-Wieland-Miescher ketone analogue. The synthetic method features a biogenetic-type annulation of the phenolic and quinone segments to regioselectively construct the central tricyclic ring system as the key step.

Chaetomellic acids are a class of alkyl dicarboxylic acids that were isolated from Chaetomella acutiseta. They are potent and highly specific farnesyl-pyrophosphate (FPP) mimic inhibitors of Ras farnesyl-protein transferase. We have previously described the first biogenetic type aldol condensation-based total synthesis of chaetomellic acid A.
