Key Points

The study successfully constructs the tetracyclic core of isoabietenin A, showcasing an innovative synthetic route.
A key reaction, the intramolecular Diels–Alder cycloaddition, aids in forming the tetracyclic structure with precision.
The assembly method employs an allylic diazene rearrangement reaction to establish the necessary ring fusion.
The findings advance the understanding of constructing complex tetracyclic frameworks, offering implications for future synthetic applications.

Implication

This research demonstrates a method to construct a unique tetracyclic framework in isoabietenin A, highlighting Diels–Alder cycloaddition.

Abstract

Isoabietenin A is a newly isolated aromatic abietane with a complex tetracyclic framework. Herein, we report a concise construction of its characteristic 6/6/6/5 tetracyclic core enabled by an intramolecular aryne Diels–Alder cycloaddition reaction. The required trans-fused pattern between rings A and B was assembled by an allylic diazene rearrangement reaction.
