title: Construction of the 5,6,7-tricyclic skeleton of lancifodilactone F.
abstract: We report herein the synthesis of a fully functionalized B,C,D-ring system of lancifodilactone F. The key transformations involve an arene-olefinmeta-photocycloaddition reaction and a palladium-catalyzed oxidative C-C cleavage reaction to establish its B,C-rings.
