RESUMO
A two-step protecting-group-free protocol for the synthesis of 3'-hydroxy-5,7-dimethoxy-4-O-2'-cycloflavan (1) and concise total synthesis of 4'-hydroxy-5,7-dimethoxy-4-O-2'-cycloflavan (8) enabled by a PTSA triggered bioinspired olefin isomerization/hemiacetalization/dehydration/[3 + 3]-type cycloaddition cascade reaction are reported. The successful synthesis of cycloflavan 8 along with GIAO 13C NMR calculations of flavan-4-ol 9 and cycloflavan 8 indicated the misassignment of the flavonoid isolated previously and realized the revision of its actual structure.

Driven by bioinspiration and appreciation of the structure of ericifolione, a biomimetic tautomerization/intermolecular inverse-electron-demand hetero Diels-Alder reaction cascade sequence promoted by sodium acetate to rapidly construct sterically hindered dihydropyran scaffolds was established, which allowed the first straightforward biomimetic total syntheses of ericifolione and its analogues with high simplicity. Moreover, this methodology set the stage for the preparation of relevant natural products or derivatives.
