Abstract

Bioinspired skeleton transformation of a tricyclic lathyrane-type Euphorbia diterpene was conducted to efficiently construct a tetracyclic tigliane diterpene on a gram scale via a key aldol condensation. The tigliane diterpene was then respectively converted into naturally rare ingenane and rhamnofolane diterpenes through a semipinacol rearrangement and a visible-light-promoted regioselective cyclopropane ring-opening reaction. This work provides a concise strategy for high-efficiency access to diverse polycyclic Euphorbia diterpene skeletons from abundant lathyrane-type natural products and paves the way for biological activity investigation of naturally rare molecules.
