Epoxide-opening cascades triggered by a Nicholas reaction: Total synthesis of teurilene

Natural inspiration: Based on the biosynthesis of squalene‐derived polyethers, a total synthesis of teurilene is described. The carbocation formation in the Nicholas reaction serves to control the initiation of a polyepoxide ring‐opening cascade. The three furan rings present in teurilene were obtained in excellent yield in one step. Boc=tert‐butoxycarbonyl, TMS=trimethylsilyl.
