Significance

Sarlah and co-workers report the total syntheses of (–)-scabrolide A and (–)-yonarolide, two norcembranoid terpenoids. The natural products feature a 5/6/7-fused carbocyclic ring system and an additional γ‑lactone.


Comment

Bicyclic lactone F is accessed by Ni‑catalyzed annulation using cyclopropane C and subsequent fragmentation. The two building blocks F and H were fused in a Liebeskind–Srogl coupling. An intramolecular Michael addition elimination cascade using a zinc-amido base furnishes enone L.
