Concise syntheses of the natural products cavicularin (ten steps) and riccardin C (seven steps) are reported. Key features of the new synthetic route are a convergent strategy to assemble acyclic precursors and a sequence of regioselective reduction and halogenation steps to facilitate Wittig macrocyclisation and transannular ring contraction reactions.
