title: Formal total syntheses of (+)-prelaureatin and (+)-laurallene by diastereoselective brook rearrangement-mediated [3 + 4] annulation.
abstract: The formal syntheses of (+)-prelaureatin (1) and (+)-laurallene (2), halogenated eight-membered-ring ethers, are described. The key step of our strategy relies on diastereoselective construction of a trans-alpha,alpha'-disubstituted oxocene structure through a Brook rearrangement-mediated [3 + 4] annulation with acryloylsilane 9 and 6-oxa-2-cycloheptenone derivative 22'.
