A stereocontrolled synthesis of a complex pentacycle embodying the molecular architecture of the cortistatin class of natural products was achieved from the (+)-Hajos-Parrish ketone. The cornerstone of our approach is a hypervalent iodine induced tandem intramolecular oxidative dearomatization and nitrile oxide cycloaddition. The manner in which these ring formations were orchestrated has yielded a rather concise strategy for synthesis. ...[more]
