Stereoselective total syntheses of pinguisane type of sesquiterpenoids are described following a unified approach using a chiral building block derived from ( R )-pulegone. The functionality embodied in the key intermediate enables their facile elaboration into more complex structures of biological relevance such as acutifolone A (9 steps, 22% overall yield) and bisacutifolone A and B (6 and 8%, respectively) following Furukawa's modified Simmons-Smith cyclopropanation, Luche reduction, Saegusa-Ito oxidation, pyridinium chlorochromate-mediated 1,3-oxidative transposition, and Diels-Alder dimerization as key steps.
