Abstract

The tricyclic core of the plant-derived sesquiterpene natural product neoliacinic acid was synthesized using a novel synthetic strategy. The pivotal synthetic transformations are construction of the key bicyclic ether-bridged intermediate by sequential deployment of metal carbenoid C−H insertion and ylide-forming reactions and installation of the lactone portion of neoliacinic acid by an acid-catalyzed intramolecular ring-opening reaction of an epoxide with a carboxylic acid.
