The total synthesis of met A-III and met D, the metabolites of gomisin A, was accomplished from the optically pure tetracyclic lactone (8). The C-6 hydroxyl group in met A-III was introduced by Mukaiyama's hydration reaction of 8, and the C-6, C-7 dihydroxyl groups in met D was introduced by way of the butenolide (10) which was obtained by the modified hydrosilation reaction of 8.
