Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Dibenzocycloheptatrienes are obtained by a gold‐catalyzed <italic>7</italic>‐<italic>exo</italic>‐<italic>dig</italic> hydroarylation protocol in a highly efficient manner. The gold‐catalyzed reaction usually gives the products in high yields and excellent selectivity. This procedure provides an easy and efficient access to dibenzocycloheptanoids, which are an interesting and unique class of natural products. This was underlined by the first total synthesis of reticuol.</p> </abstract>
