The stereoselective installation of methyl group at C-3 by using LiHMDS and MeI completed the synthesis of racemic eupomatilone-6 (2) and its diastereomer 3. The spectroscopic data of 2 was in fall agreement with reported spectra of natural product, thus confirming the revised relative configuration of eupomatilone-6. Similarly, an optically active (3R,4R,5S)-isomer of eupomatilone-6 (23) was prepared in which the aldol reaction with thiazolidinethione as a chiral auxiliary was employed as a key step. On the basis of the spectroscopic data and optical rotation values of 23, the absolute configuration of eupomatilone-6 was proposed.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">23</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4.785</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
