A novel and concise approach for the construction of the core structure of maoecrystal V (1) has been developed. Utilizing the lead-mediated arylation of beta-ketoesters and oxidative dearomatization/IMDA reaction as key steps, the two consecutive all-carbon quaternary centers (C-9 and C-10) were constructed in a stereoselective manner. The developed chemistry paves the way for the total synthesis of this fascinating natural product.
