Abstract
We report a step-economical, enantioselective total synthesis of (-)-robustanoid B and (-)-robustanoid A and four novel natural product-like compounds. Our strategy relied on our biosynthetic hypothesis and on a novel complexity generation methodology, namely, the one-pot hydroxylative double cyclization reaction. The latter consists of a modified 3,3-dimethyldioxirane-triggered epoxidation-epoxide-ring-opening cyclization reaction cascade and Trost's regioselectivity umpolung methodology ("anti-Michael addition").
