C17-sesquiterpenoids are a group of natural products that have been recently discovered. These compounds have the peculiarity of lacking the α,β-methylene butyrolactone system, which is known to be quite relevant for many of the biological activities reported for sesquiterpene lactones. Unfortunately, the biological interest of C17-sesquiterpenoids has not been studied in-depth, mainly due to the poor isolation yields in which they can be obtained from natural sources. Therefore, in order to allow a deeper study of these novel molecules, we have worked out a synthetic pathway that provides C17-sesquiterpenoids in enough quantities from easily accessible sesquiterpene lactones to enable a more thorough investigation of their bioactivities. With this synthesis method, we have successfully synthesized, for the first time, three natural C17-sesquiterpenoids, pertyolides A, B, and C, with good overall yields. Furthermore, we have also evaluated their phytotoxicity against etiolated wheat coleoptiles and corroborated that pertyolides B and C present strong phytotoxic activity.
