Abstract
The β‐triketone core of the antidepressant phloroglucinol hyperforin (1) undergoes a series of peroxide‐induced oxidative rearrangements leading to compound 5, which is formed by opening of ring A, and compound 6, which is formed by removal of the C‐1 carbonyl bridge. A mechanistic rationale for this process is proposed. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2004)
