The gene cluster of trihazones was identified from Trichoderma harzianum t-22 and heterologously activated in Aspergillus nidualns. The α-KG dependent dioxygenase ThnC was confirmed to catalyze exocyclic double bond formation.

The cyclization of the α-iodo mixed acetals derived from properly substituted cyclohexenols , a process which has already been shown to permit the stereoselective and regioselective introduction of a different carbon chain at each of the termini of the allylic double bond, may be used for the construction of trans hydrindans suitable for further elaboration to steroids. In one particular instance, the process involves the formation of four new carbon-carbon bonds in a single operation.

Stereoselective total synthesis of (±)-sinularene and (±)-5-epi-sinularene are described. The sequence employs a "blocked" cyclopentadiene in which the cyclopropane unit also serves as a latent methyl group. Thus intramolecular [4 + 2] cycloaddition of the substituted methyl spiro[2.4]hepta-4,6-dien-1-yl)-2-pentenoate 11 affords 5-benzyloxy-6-isopropyl-8-carbomethoxytetracyclo[5.4.01,7.02,4.02,9]undec-10-ene (12) which after selective hydrogenolysis generates the tricyclo[4.4.01,6.02,8]decane (sinularene) ring system. Removal of the secondary hydroxyl function (Ph3P/CCl4/CH3CN; H2/Pd/C), reduction of the methyl ester (LiAlH4), and introduction of the exocyclic double bond (acetate pyrolysis, 550 °C) completes the synthesis of (±)-sinularene in 14 steps from cyclopentadiene. A parallel series of reactions employing the isopropyl epimer of 12 affords (±)-5-epi-sinularene.
