Abstract
A highly efficient strategy enabled the asymmetric total synthesis of 15 antifeedant leucosceptroid natural products. The advanced tricyclic core, available in gram quantity, served as the pivotal intermediate for the preparation of norleucosceptroids B, C, F, and G and leucosceptroids A, B, G, I, J, L, and M. Additionally, the bioinspired oxidative transformation of leucosceptroid A to leucosceptroids C, K, O, and P using singlet oxygen supports the hypothesis that leucosceptroids A and B are most likely the biogenetic precursors of all other members of this natural product family.Funding Information
