Abstract

Triterpenoids and related abeo-steroids are of interest to the scientific community for their potent and varied biological activities as well as their unique structures. Within this large and diverse family of natural products, the fir metabolites (-)-spirochensilide A and B are particularly noteworthy for their controversial biogenesis. We herein report the chemical synthesis of the spirochensilides, which involves a concerted sequence of bioinspired rearrangements contributing to its resolution. Points of divergence after each rearrangement step also allow for an approach to the abifarine family of natural products with abifarine B as a synthetic target. Key to this strategy is a radical-polar crossover event to initiate the first rearrangement without the need for a sacrificial functionality to be introduced beforehand.
