Abstract

Let the dominos fall: Synthesis of the complex DFGH ring system of the title compounds has been accomplished. The approach features simple treatment of the key intermediate with a Brønsted base to afford the tetracyclic cage-shaped target in one pot through a four-step domino transformation (see scheme; Mc= monochloromesylate, MOM=methoxymethyl).
