Abstract

A total synthesis of the complex, biologically active, dimeric natural product (±)-torreyanic acid, which is composed of seven rings and laced with dense, variegated oxy-functionalization, has been accomplished from readily available allyl-substituted p -benzoquinone 8. Our synthetic stratagem involves crafting an epoxyquinone monomer for use in a biomimetic cascade process involving tandem a 6π electrocyclization and a Diels-Alder dimerization.
