Natural weapons against HIV, litseaverticillols A (2) and C, have been synthesized from sesquirosefuran (1) by a rapid and efficient biomimetic total synthesis involving a chemo- and stereoselective singlet-oxygen-initiated tandem sequence (see scheme). Litseaverticillols D, F, and G were readily synthesized from litseaverticillol A through a regioselective 1O2 ene reaction.
