In 2003, Wei and co-workers reported the isolation and structural elucidation of the polygalolides A (1) and B (2) obtained from Polygala fallax Hemsl., a medicinal plant from which extracts are used as tonics and antihepatitis drugs in China.[1] The structure and relative configuration of the polygalolides were determined on the basis of NMR spectroscopic data. However, the issue of the absolute stereochemistry of the molecules has not been resolved. The structural complexity of these molecules, which include an unprecedented trioxatetracyclic ring system and contiguous quaternary stereogenic centers at C2 and C8, poses a considerable synthetic challenge. Herein, we describe the first total synthesis of (À)-polygalolides A (1) and B (2). The synthesis takes advantage of a transformation consisting of a tandem carbonyl ylide formation/1, 3-dipolar cycloaddition, which has been extensively studied, especially in the research group of
