Abstract

[Structure: see text] A concise synthesis of the polyprenylated acylphloroglucinol natural product, clusianone, in racemic form, is described. An Effenburger cyclization generated a core bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-trione structure, which was then elaborated by means of regioselective lithiation reactions.
