Enantiospecific, biosynthetically inspired formal total synthesis of (+)-liphagal.

A biosynthetically inspired synthesis of (+)-liphagal has been achieved from (+)-sclareolide in 13 steps (9% overall yield). The key step is a biomimetic ring expansion of a highly stabilized benzylic carbocation, which generates the seven-membered ring and the benzofuran of the natural product in a...
