In previous reports, the total synthesis of antrocin has been developed but it was obtained as a racemic mixture. Therefore, we attempted to obtain enantiomerically pure antrocin by optical resolution of its intermediates. For the optical resolution, we have synthesized two racemic intermediate 105and 129 containing tricyclic core structure and hydroxyl group starting from 2,2-methylcyclohexanone. The racemic intermediates then reacted with six chiral reagents by esterification. However, two racemic intermediates 105 and 129 were converted to diastereomers and we could not separate diastereomers by column chromatography. Furthermore, we have synthesized another racemic intermediates 139 and 142 from 105 by hydroboration-oxidation reaction. Then, we could not obtain diastereomers from racemic intermediates 139 and 142. These diastereomers could not be separated.
