Key words
(–)-retigeranic acid A - Henry condensation - Nef reaction - Wittig olefination - Robinson annulation - Meinwald rearrangement - cycloaddition and pinacol rearrangement - reductive rearrangement - Wolff ring contractionSignificance
Ding and co-workers present a total synthesis of (–)-retigeranic acid A, isolated in 1965 from linchens of the Lobaria retigera. The pentacyclic carbon framework contains a unique trans-hydrindane-fused angular triquinane.

Comment
The trans-hydrindane is assembled from keto aldehyde A featuring a Henry condensation and Nef reaction under oxidative conditions. Homologation and addition of aryl bromide G led to benzylic alcohol H, that underwent cycloaddition and pinacol rearrangement. From triketone J, the carbon skeleton of (–)-retigeranic acid A was accessed via reductive rearrangement and Wolff ring contraction.
