Linear Triquinanes: Target Natural Products (+)-1-desoxyhypnophilin (+)-hirsutene Lentinus crinitus Coriolus consors Polyquinane natural products were first isolated in 1966. Since then over 80 linear triquinane natural products have been isolated from plants, microbes and marine organisms. Biological activities of select linear triquinanes include antibiotic and antitumor activity. Tetrahedron Letters 2000, 41, 8985; Angew. Chem. Int. d. 2003, 42, 5855.

Conclusions The authors have developed an efficient tandem two-component rhodium(i) catalyzed [(5+2)+1] cycloaddition/aldol condensation reaction. This methodology was showcased by diastereoselectively establishing, in a single step, the correct placement of all stereocenters, including the two quarternary centers, contained in the core structure of the linear triquinanes: hirsutene and 1- desoxyhypnophilin. This paper represents the first application of the h(i)-catalyzed [(5+2)+1] methodology in natural product synthesis.
