A Lewis acid catalyzed Nazarov-type cyclization of arylvinylcarbinol has been developed for the asymmetric synthesis of carbotetracyclic core of merosesquiterpenes. The reaction works only in the presence of 2 mol % of Sn(OTf)2 and Bi(OTf)3 in dichloroethane under elevated temperature. The methodology offers the synthesis of a variety of enantioenriched arylvinylcarbinols from commercially available (3aR)-sclareolide 9 in six steps with an eventual concise total synthesis of marine sesquiterpene quinol, akaol A (1a).

Total synthesis of (±)-taiwaniaquinol F (1a) has been accomplished via an efficient Lewis acid-catalyzed Nazarov-type cyclization of aryldiallylcarbinols (±)-2e derived from safranal 7. The methodology works under mild conditions using only 2 mol % of met

A biomimetic synthesis of the triterpene (±)-perovskone was achieved featuring a remarkable polycyclization process in which three rings, four bonds, and five stereocenters were created in a single operation in 82% yield. This convergent synthesis required 16 steps, starting from vanillin, and proceeded in 9% overall yield. A second route to prepare optically active quinone 2 took 15 steps in 36% overall yield and featured a palladium-catalyzed reductive allylic transposition to establish the C-5 chirality stereospecifically. Quinone (-)-2 was converted to (+)-perovskone (1) via a polycyclization cascade, which created four rings, five bonds, and six stereocenters in a single operation in 50% yield.

An efficient, flexible, and stereoselective convergent route for constructing the trans-10-hydroxy-1,1-dimethyloctahydrodibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten- 7-ones (5a-c) was achieved via intramolecular Heck reaction. This strategy has been successfully implemented for the syntheses of (±)-komaroviquinone (3) through (±)-coulterone dimethyl ether (5c) and (±)-faveline methyl ether (1a).
