Abstract

A facile total synthesis of marine natural product (±)-spiniferin-1 has been accomplished in eight steps with 28.9% overall yield, involving a rearrangement reaction initiated by polyfluoroalkanosulfonyl fluoride to construct the 1,6-methano[10]annulene core of the natural product as a key step.
