Abstract
8-O-Methylpopolohuanone E (2) was synthesized in a highly convergent manner starting from the cis-fused decalin derivative accessible from the (−)-Wieland−Miescher ketone analogue. The synthetic method features a biogenetic-type annulation of the phenolic and quinone segments to regioselectively construct the central tricyclic ring system as the key step.
