We have developed and rationalized a biomimetic transformation mimicking halimane synthases based on a Lewis acid-catalyzed cascade of cyclizations and rearrangements of epoxypolyprenes. Two rings, three stereogenic centers, and a new double bond were generated in a single chemical operation. Based on this cascade transformation, we achieved a unified strategy toward the stereoselective total syntheses of halimene-type terpenoids and analogues as a proof-of-concept study. This method has been applied to the rapid synthesis of diterpene isotuberculosinol, a virulence factor of Mycobacterium tuberculosis as a representative example.
