Bibenzyl natural products, such as the amorfrutins, contain a heavily substituted aromatic core and display a diverse range of biological activities (anti-tumor, anti-diabetic, antimicrobial, and antibiotic). In this study, we report unified syntheses of amorfrutin A to D either through total or formal synthesis by employing a dual biomimetic strategy of polyketide aromatization followed by remote terpene functionalization. The key core structures were synthesized from β-keto dioxinone esters through a magnesium(II) mediated regioselective C-acylation, palladium catalyzed decarboxylative allylic rearrangement, and dehydrative cyclization.
