A total synthesis of novel heptacyclic antibiotics cervinomycin A1 1 and A2 2 following a convergent approach is reported.The cornerstone of our strategy was the construction of the central ring D through photochemical electrocyclization.The oxazolo-isoquinoline fragment (ABC rings) 7 and the xanthone fragment (EFG rings) 8 were assembled through relatively straightforward synthetic protocols and coupled through a Wittig reaction to give 6 and set up the key photocyclization.Our successful approach to 1 and 2 can be readily adapted to the synthesis of analogues of these interesting antibiotics.
