Cavicularin is a natural phenolic secondary metabolite isolated from the liverwort Cavicularia densa. This macrocycle is unusual because it was the first compound isolated from nature displaying optical activity solely due to the presence of planar chirality and axial chirality. The specific rotation for (+)-cavicularin is +168.2°.[1] It is also a very strained molecule. The para-substituted phenol ring is bent about 15° out of planarity, adopting a somewhat boat-like geometry. This type of angle strain in aromatic compounds is normally reserved for synthetic cyclophanes.
Cavicularin, three-dimensional representation
The liverwort was obtained from Mt. Ishizuchi in the district of Shikoku. The material was dried for one day, ground to a powder and 5 grams were refluxed in methanol for 4 months to yield 2.5 mg (0.049%) of cavicularin after column chromatography and preparative TLC.

Total synthesis
In 2005 and again in 2011, the compound was prepared by total synthesis together with the unstrained compound riccardin C.[2][3] The strategy used was a radical reaction. In 2013 several procedures have been reported, one based on transannulation,[4] one based on a Diels-Alder reaction [5] and one (racemic) based on a coupling reaction.[6]
