Endiandramide A, a natural product found in Beilschmiedia tsangii, has been reported to have potent anti-inflammatory activity. Our synthetic approach employs a biomimetic electrocyclization cascade to form half of the molecule's tetracyclic core. In addition, the modularity of our strategy will allow for straightforward syntheses of related molecules.
