Significance

Xu, Lou, and co-workers report the synthesis of manginoid and guignardone meroterpenoids. The highly oxygenated natural products feature a 6-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane skeleton. Isolated from the fungus Guignardia mangiferae, they display diverse biological activities.

Comment

Kornblum oxidation of iodide C afforded unexpected ketone E. Pd-catalyzed coupling gave rise to alcohol I. Ketone J underwent semi­pinacol rearrangement to afford pivotal ketone K. Radical cyclization gave rise to peroxide L, completing the carbon skeleton of the natural product.
