Abstract
A route to the core structure of clavilactone D, a new member of the tyrosine kinase inhibitors, is reported. The route employs sequential cyclization initiated by iodo etherification followed by Friedel-Crafts cyclization to furnish a polycyclic lactone fused with an aromatic ring, which is readily transformed into the proposed clavilactone scaffold.
