Anthracyclines are archetypal representatives of the tetracyclic type II polyketide natural products that are widely used in cancer chemotherapy. Although the synthesis of this class of compounds has been a subject of several investigations, all known approaches are based on annulations, relying on the union of properly prefunctionalized building blocks. Herein, we describe a conceptually different approach using a polynuclear arene as a starting template, ideally requiring only functional decorations to reach the desired target molecule. Specifically, tetracene was converted to (±)-idarubicinone, the aglycone of the FDA approved anthracycline idarubicin, through the judicious orchestration of Co- and Ru-catalyzed arene oxidation and arenophile-mediated dearomative hydroboration. Such a global functionalization strategy, the combination of site-selective arene and dearomative functionalization, provided the key anthracycline framework in five operations and enabled rapid and controlled access to (±)-idarubicinone.

A new methodology for benzoannulation has been developed by using double Claisen rearrangement followed by a one-pot ring-closing metathesis and DDQ oxidation sequence.

Titanium(IV) chloride mediated cyclization of the ortho-methoxylated 1,3-dioxan (5) gives a high yield of a mixture (10:1) of the (7R)-tetracycles (18) and (19) which are epimeric at C 9.The exclusive formation of the (7R) stereochemistry results from Ss
