Key words

(–)-crinipellins - Stork–Danheiser transposition - [5+2] cycloaddition - Dowd–Beckwith rearrangement - Wilkinson hydrogenation

Significance

The crinipellins are highly oxygenated tetraquinane natural products. Ding, Xie, and co-workers present their total syntheses featuring a HAT-initiated Dowd–Beckwith rearrangement. With enone L as a common intermediate, the ­authors were able to access eight natural products of the crinipellin family.

Comment

Cycloaddition precursor G was synthesized by Stork–Danheiser transposition of vinylogous ester E. An oxidative dearomatization-induced [5+2] cycloaddition pinacol rearrangement cascade yielded tetracycle H. Alkene I underwent a hydrogen atom transfer initiated Dowd–Beckwith rearrangement furnishing the tetraquinane framework.
