Concise Total Synthesis and Structure Assignment of TAN‐1085

Abstract

Rapid access to the tetracyclic core of TAN-1085 (1) was possible by exploiting three efficient processes: a tandem electrocyclic reaction (A), a pinacol cyclization (B), and a regioselective monobenzoylation of a 1,2-diol (C), which allowed the first total synthesis of 1.
