A further demonstration of the value of "biomimetically" inspired synthetic strategies toward natural products is provided by the title reactions that were developed for the construction of 4-oxatricyclo[4.3.1.0]decan-2-one systems from prochiral aromatic precursors. This biomimetic cascade was applied to the synthesis of 1-O-methylforbesione (2) from the prenylated xanthone 1 in one pot.
