Key words
(–)-viridin - (–)-viridol - furanosteroid - [3+2] cycloaddition - MHAT radical cyclization
Significance
Viridin and Viridiol belong to the class of furanosteroids and were isolated from the fungal species of Gliocladium virens and Trichoderma viride.

Comment
Unsaturated ester A, accessed in four steps from l-(+)-ribose, underwent intramolecular [3+2] cycloaddition after nitrile oxide formation, affording isoxazoline B. Cobalt-catalyzed MHAT radical cyclization was used to construct the steroid skeleton of G.
