A splice from life : A photoinduced rearrangement cascade with alternating photochemical and thermal pericyclic steps leads to a novel pyrone compound with chain‐contracted polyketide backbone (orinocin ( 2 )). The excision of three propionate units from the polyene precursor, spectinabilin ( 1 ), proceeds via the immunosuppressive SNF4435C/D and yields an unusual triketide, mesitylene (see scheme).
