Abstract
The stereoselective cyclization of geranylgeraniol catalysed by squalene-hopene cyclase (SHC) was investigated. By use of this transformation, spongiane diterpenoids (+)-isoagatholactone and (+)-spongian-16-one, and meroterpenoid 3-deoxychavalone A were synthesized in a concise and redox-economic manner. This work showcases the application of SHC-catalysed cyclization as a key step in terpenoid synthesis.
