A divergent strategy for assembling pyrone diterpenes is presented. Capitalizing on the unique stereo- and chemoselectivity features of radical-based chemistry, the core decalin of these structures is efficiently forged using an electrochemically assisted oxidative radical polycyclization while key peripheral substituents are appended using decarboxylative radical cross couplings. In this way, access to four natural products (subglutinols A/B, higginsianin A, and sesquicillin A) is achieved in a ...[more]
