This paper describes a new construction strategy for polyhydroxylated decalinic systems through oxidative furan ring opening of 3-(2′-furyl)-2-carbomethoxycyclohexanedione-4-monoethylene ketal 5. The possible functionalization of the decalinic product 6 aimed at the synthesis of antifeeding agarofuran sesquiterpenes, is demonstrated through the preparation of compounds 2-4.
