A synthetic approach to the pseudopterosins

Abstract
Three Lewis acid catalysed reactions used in a synthesis of the tricyclic core of the marine anti-inflammatory pseudopterosins are reported; the reductive cleavage of an oxirane with inversion, the cyclisation of an α-hydroxy ketenedithioacetal to an arene, and a stereoselective annulation using an allylic sulfone as the electrophile.
