This account describes our group’s latest research in the field of diversity-oriented synthesis of natural products via gold-catalyzed cascade reactions. We present two general strategies based on gold-catalyzed cycloisomerization: a gold-catalyzed cascade reaction of 1,7-diynes and a pinacol-terminated gold-catalyzed cascade reaction. We highlight our development of synthetic methods for the construction of biologically active natural products by using these two strategies.1 Introduction2 Gold-Catalyzed Cascade Reactions of 1,7-Diynes2.1 Collective Synthesis of C15 Oxygenated Drimane-Type Sesquiterpenoids2.2 Synthesis of Left-Wing Fragment of Azadirachtin I2.3 Collective Synthesis of Cladiellins3 Pinacol-Terminated Gold-Catalyzed Cascade Reaction3.1 Asymmetric Formal Total Synthesis of (+)-Cortistatins3.2 Total Synthesis of Orientalol F3.3 Asymmetric Total Synthesis of (–)-Farnesiferol C4 Summary and Outlook

Studies toward the synthesis of three biologically active [5,6]-benzannulated spiroketal natural products are described. The first total synthesis of paecilospirone is reported, employing a late-stage, pH-neutral spiroketalization. A formal synthesis of γ-rubromycin is described, where the spiroketal moiety is formed by delicate manipulation of the electronic properties of the spirocyclization precursor. Finally, model work toward the total synthesis of berkelic acid is summarized, introducing a novel Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons/oxa-Michael (HWE/oxa-M) cascade to access the spiroketal precursor.
