The total syntheses of chiloscyphone ( 1 ) and isochiloscyphone ( 2 ) have been achieved. Furthermore, the synthetic intermediate 5 shows biological activity against methicillin‐resistant Staphyrococcus aureus , and compounds 5 , 17 , and 18 , display imipenem‐type activity. The tricyclic lactone framework, which includes an α,β‐unsaturated ketone moiety, might play a crucial role in the anti‐MRSA activity. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
