(Matrix presented) An efficient synthetic approach to the tricyclic core 8 of lateriflorone is described. Essential to the synthesis was the implementation of a biomimetic tandem Claisen/Diels-Alder reaction that produced the desired tricyclic scaffold as a single isomer. A rationalization of the excellent regio and stereoselectivity of this transformation is also proposed.

A convergent strategy toward the synthesis of lateriflorone (5) is described. Our approach is based on biosynthetic considerations and draws on a sequence of prenylation, oxygenation and Claisen reactions for the construction of chromenequinone 6, and a tandem Claisen/Diels-Alder reaction cascade for the synthesis of caged tricycle 7. Union of fragments 6 and 7 led to the synthesis of seco-lateriflorone (49).
