Abstract

Starting from equisetin, the asymmetric synthesis of (+)-fusarisetin A has been accomplished in a one-pot transformation including a biomimetic oxidation and an intramolecular Diels-Alder/Roskamp reaction. Peroxyfusarisetin is proposed as a plausible biosynthetic intermediate based on studies of the oxidation of equisetin.
