A synthesis of the title aldehyde 1 and acid 2 , the ( R ) enantiomers of the antifungal and antibacterial principles of Sporothrix species, was developed. Alkylation of the alkynol derivative 6 with ( S )‐citronellyl bromide ( 5 ), depyranylation, cis hydrogenation, PCC oxidation, and Z‐selective Wittig reaction with hexylidenephosphorane gave the hydrocarbon 11 . Its regioselective epoxidation and cleavage of the epoxide with HlO 4 affords ( R )‐ 1 which was oxidized to ( R )‐ 2 .
