A short total synthesis of all stereoisomers of dihydrokawain and dihydrokawain-5-ol has been achieved. Key steps include a condensation of 3-phenylpropanal with chiral allenylboronic esters and the HgO-catalyzed addition of MeOH to the 5-hydroxy-7-phenylhept-2-ynoic acid. This synthesis afforded (+)-dihydrokawain in 72% and (+)-dihydrokawain-5-ol in 19% overall yields respectively.

Key words: dihydrokawain, dihydrokawain-5-ol, chiral allenylboronic ester, total synthesis
