Abstract
The formal synthesis of (±)-salvinorin A is presented. Our approach utilizes two distinct gold(I) catalytic processes. The combination of a gold(I)-catalyzed reaction with an intermolecular Diels-Alder reaction followed by a gold(I)-catalyzed photoredox reaction generated in eight steps the framework of the natural product with high diastereoselectivity.
