We describe herein the first access to 12-membered cyclic[7,0] ortho , meta -diarylheptanoids. The key features of the synthesis include both a Suzuki-Miyaura coupling and a ring closing metathesis. Actinidione, a promising natural product, along with a bioactive tetracyclic derivative were obtained in 14 steps for the first time from cheap commercially available substrates with an overall yield of 18-21%. Our modus operandi complies with the principles of the synthesis ideality by using notably strategic reactions.
