Abstract

The first concise total syntheses of sanctis A and B were reported, and it enabled revision of the structure of sanctis B through single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The established synthetic approach mainly mimics a biosynthetic olefin isomerization/hemiacetalization/dehydration/[3 + 3]-type cycloaddition cascade sequence, offering a viable synthetic methodology to efficiently access sanctis A-B and their analogues.
