A synthesis of the carbon skeleton of maoecrystal V.
An enantioselective synthesis of the maoecrystal V (1) carbon skeleton is described. The key transformations include arylation of a 1,3-dicarbonyl compound with a triarylbismuth(V) dichloride species, oxidative dearomatization of a phenol, and a subsequent intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction.
