title: A model study for the concise construction of the oxapentacyclic core of cortistatins through intramolecular Diels-Alder and oxidative dearomatization-cyclization reactions.
abstract: A unified strategy towards the facile construction of the [6.7.6.5] oxapentacyclic skeleton of cortistatins is reported, featuring intramolecular Diels-Alder (IMDA) and oxidative dearomatization-cyclization reactions as key steps.
