We report a new method for constructing the ABC ring system of strigolactones, in a single step from a simple linear precursor by acid-catalyzed double cyclization. The reaction proceeds with a high degree of stereochemical control, which can be qualitatively rationalized using DFT calculations. Our concise synthetic approach offers a new model for thinking about the (as yet) unknown chemistry that is employed in the biosynthetic pathways leading to this class of plant hormones.
