We have developed an innovative strategy for the formation of angular carbocycles via a gold(I)-catalyzed dehydro Diels–Alder reaction. This transformation provides rapid access to a variety of complex angular cores in excellent diastereoselectivities and high yields. The usefulness of this AuI-catalyzed cycloaddition was further demonstrated by accomplishing a 11-steps total synthesis of (±)-magellanine. Building complexity: An efficient and operationally simple method for the formation of angular carbocycles via a gold(I)-catalyzed dehydro Diels–Alder reaction is described. This transformation provides rapid access to complex angular cores in excellent diastereoselectivities. Its usefulness was further demonstrated by accomplishing a 11-steps total synthesis of (±)-magellanine.
