Significance

(±)-Dalesconol A was first isolated from the fungus Daldinia eschscholzii and displays significant immunosuppressive properties. The ­natural product features a heptacyclic, highly oxidized carbon skeleton.

Comment

Heptacycle E was efficiently accessed via norbornene/Pd(0)-catalyzed coupling and cyclization reaction of B and C, followed by an intramolecular Michael addition. Pd(II)-catalyzed tri­hydroxylation of G gave triol H, which was further elaborated into (±)-dalesconol A.
