Polycyclic spiro lignans are a new family of lignan natural products recently isolated from Gymnotheca involucrata . The first synthesis of two model substrates of this rare family of natural products was achieved in six steps. An efficient strategy that features Suzuki coupling and Friedel-Crafts acylation was employed to construct the ABC tricyclic fluorene framework. Subsequently, Grignard reaction followed by acid-mediated cyclization furnished the spiro cyclic ether ring D.
