A full account of semisyntheses of polychlorinated marine steroids clionastatins A and B is described. We have developed a unique two-stage chlorination-oxidation strategy that enabled concise and divergent semisyntheses of clionastatins A and B in 16 steps from inexpensive testosterone. Key transformations in chlorination stage include (a) conformationally controlled, stereospecific dichlorination through an unusual β-chloronium intermediate to install the diequatorial C1,C2-dichloride; (b) C4-OH directed C19-H oxygenation followed by challenging neopentyl chlorination to install the C19-Cl. The high oxidation level was constructed through (a) the desaturation at C6-C7 through one-pot photochemical dibromination-reductive debromination; (b) regioselective anti-Markovnikov oxidation of the C6-C7 double bond by photoredox-metal dual catalysis to forge the B ring enone; (c) late-stage desaturation with SeO 2 to introduce C8-C9 double bond. Wharton transposition was used to forge the D-ring enone, and thermodynamically driven epimerization secured the cis-fused C/D ring system. Furthermore, we also provided a 14-step approach to clionastatin A by optimizing the construction of the D-ring enone with a dehydration-oxidation sequence.
