摘要

The marasmane sesquiterpenoid structure can be found in the skeleton of a variety of natural products bearing interesting bioactivity. The unique fused-5,6,3-tricyclic ring structure, in which the rings are cis-fused and the five- and three-membered rings are mutually trans, provides a synthetic challenge for organic chemists. In this work, we took advantage of the photoinduced decarbonylative rearrangement of bicyclo [2.2.2] octenone to develop a new methodology for construction of the highly functionalized fused-5,6,3-tricyclic ring structure in a concise reaction sequence.
