Biomimetic synthesis and structural revision of tridachiahydropyrone
A short synthesis of the revised structure of the marine natural product tridachiahydropyrone is described. A novel biomimetic photochemical
electrocyclization was employed to construct the bicyclic carbon framework from an open-chain polyene precursor. The spectroscopic data
matched that of the isolated natural product, supporting a revised structure of this complex metabolite
