of (−)-penicipyrone and (−)-tenuipyrone were accomplished enantioselectively in 12 steps with an 11% yield and 6 steps with a 28% yield from the known 4-((tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy)-cyclopent-2-enone, respectively, by developing a biomimetic bimolecular cascade cyclization featuring an intermolecular Michael addition/cyclo-(spiro-)ketalization sequence.
