Significance

Solandelactones E and F belong to the family of metabolites containing a trans-disubstituted cyclopropane. Total synthesis of both solandelactones E and F with reassigned stereo­chemistry of the cyclopropanes is reported here and is noteworthy for (1) directed Simmons-Smith cyclopropanation of E and (2) Claisen rearrangement for the construction of Δ4,5-octenalactone moiety in J.
