The first biomimetic total syntheses of three biologically meaningful acylphloroglucinols, watsonianones A and B and corymbone B, with potent antiplasmodial activity, were performed. Their total syntheses were carried out through a diversity-oriented synthetic strategy from congener 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-6-(3-methylbutylidene)cyclohexane-1,3,5-trione with high step efficiency. The spontaneous enolization/air oxidation of the precursor 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-6-(3-methylbutylidene)cyclohexane-1,3,5-trione through a singlet O2-induced Diels-Alder reaction pathway to assemble the key biosynthetic peroxide intermediate is also discussed.
