Abstract
The first total synthesis of hibarimicinone has been achieved. The polyhydroxydecalin moieties (AB and GH rings) have been synthesized from sulfonylenone 4 derived from d-arabinose. The chiral biaryl 20 was coupled with two polyhydroxydecalins 11 by Michael-Dieckmann type condensation to give the eight rings system. Aromatization and oxidation with Ag + gave quinone 24, and the subsequential transannular etheration gave the hibarimicinone skeleton. Deprotection and tautomerization were performed in one pot to give hibarimicinone (1).
