By utilizing newly developed synthetic methods i.e. 2-methylbenzofuran formation by CsF-mediated Claisen rearrangement of an aryl propargyl ether and its transformation to a salicylaldehyde by oxidative cleavage of the furan ring, total synthesis of a coctus alkaloid, lemaireocereine (2), was accomplished via ten steps from the aldehyde (4) in 22% yield.
