A Concise Route for the Synthesis of Tetracyclic Meroterpenoids: (±)-Aureol Preparation and Mechanistic Interpretation

A new concise general methodology for the synthesis of different tetracyclic meroterpenoids is reported: (±)-aureol (<b>1</b>), the key intermediate of this general route. The synthesis of (±)-aureol (<b>1</b>) was achieved in seven steps (28% overall yield) from (±)-albicano...

description A new concise general methodology for the synthesis of different tetracyclic meroterpenoids is reported: (±)-aureol (<b>1</b>), the key intermediate of this general route. The synthesis of (±)-aureol (<b>1</b>) was achieved in seven steps (28% overall yield) from (±)-albicanol. The key steps of this route include a C–C bond-forming reaction between (±)-albicanal and a lithiated arene unit and a rearrangement involving 1,2-hydride and 1,2-methyl shifts promoted by BF<sub>3</sub>•Et<sub>2</sub>O as activator and water as initiator.
