Abstract

The anthrasteroid rearrangement has been discussed for the formation of the eponymous substance class since its discovery. We here report its chemical emulation from a plausible biogenetic precursor and show how it accounts for the formation of asperfloketals A and B through a mechanistic bifurcation event. As a result, these natural products arise from double Wagner-Meerwein rearrangements and, thus, are 1(10→5),1(5→6)- and 1(10→5),4(5→6)diabeo-14,15-secosteroids, respectively. To establish an efficient route to a bioinspired precursor, we devised a sequence of orchestrated oxidative activation and rearrangement from ergosterol.
