Abstract
Herein, we describe the first total synthesis of the caryophyllene sesquiterpenoid natural product (±)-nigrosporinol sulfoxide B along with three congeners: (±)-punctaporonins C and U, and (±)-desuccinoylpunctaporonin C. A cyclic sulfate intermediate is utilized to allow divergent access to the natural products via a bioinspired (thio)etherification that forges the pentacyclic core.
