Abstract
An unusual polyene cyclization pathway that led to a divergent total synthesis of hongoquercin A and rhododaurichromanic acid A is described here. This work uncovered a unique cationic cyclobutane formation that could be relevant to the biosynthetic pathway for the formation of cyclobutane containing terpenoids in addition to rhododaurichromanic acids.
