Abstract
Hypervalent iodine oxidation of O-silylated phenols bearing various types of aminoquinones at the para position in 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol gave azacarbocyclic spiro dienones in good yields. Using this method, the first total synthesis of discorhabdin C, which was isolated from the sponge of Latrunculia du Bocage in New Zealand, was achieved.
