14. All attempts to convert the sterically hindered primary alcohol in 18 to Wittig reagent and aryl sulfone, which would allow the olefination at C6, were unsuccessful. These results led us to construct the sterically less hindered sulfone 3.

18. On warming up at this stage, epoxide formation could not be effected.
19. Attempts to remove the benzoyl group under various basic conditions at the final step in the total synthesis did not afford nafuredin (1) without decomposition.
