Erythrophloin C is an anti-tubercular compound isolated from Beilschmiedia erythrophloia. Our synthetic strategy features an electrocyclization cascade to form a bicyclic product from an acyclic polyene. A synthesis of this bicycle and further progress will be presented. To minimize the use of toxic reagents and intermediates, we have also explored greener alternatives to improve our strategy.
