Concerted or stepwise: The concise total synthesis of the molluscan polypropionate photodeoxytridachione ( 3 ) features a Lewis acid catalyzed cyclization of tetraenoic ester 1 to form bicylo[3.1.0]hexene 2 as a key step. The stereochemistry of the cyclization can be rationalized in terms of a stepwise or a concerted mechanism.
