Abstract

A two-step total synthesis of lappaceolides A and B is achieved using a biomimetic vinylogous-Michael–oxa-Michael domino reaction. The domino reaction proceeds with Cs2CO3 in 1,2-DCE at elevated temperatures and requires careful kinetic control. The total synthesis provides further proof to the biosynthetic hypothesis of lappaceolides as being dimers of the natural product siphonodin.
