An oxidative cascade reaction reveals the origin of the complex flavonoids dragonbloodin A1 and A2 isolated from Daemonorops draco or “dragon's blood". In their Communication on page 12332 ff., D. Trauner and M. Schmid present a concise synthesis of these complex flavonoids that features a biomimetic trimerization and an autoxidative radical cyclization reaction and clarifies their relative and absolute stereochemistry.
