title: Efficient method for synthesis of angucyclinone antibiotics via gold-catalyzed intramolecular [4 + 2] benzannulation: enantioselective total synthesis of (+)-ochromycinone and (+)-rubiginone B2.
abstract: [reaction: see text] An efficient synthetic approach to angucyclinone antibiotics, (+)-ochromycinone and (+)-rubiginone B(2), is reported. The key step involves the facile formation of 2,3-dihydrophenantren-4(1H)-one skeleton, an important framework of angucyclinone natural products, by using gold-catalyzed intramolecular [4 + 2] benzannulation reaction.
