Concise synthesis of (±)-Lingzhiol via epoxy-arene cyclization

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Oct 7;51(78):14594-6. doi: 10.1039/c5cc05680b.

Abstract

Concise synthesis of (±)-Lingzhiol has been achieved. The key reaction involves one-step construction of a 5/5/6/6 tetra-ring backbone of Lingzhiol via epoxy-arene cyclization.
