A concise route to (+/-)-taiwaniaquinol B is described, in which the 6-5-6-fused ring system is constructed by sequencing a Fries rearrangement and a photo-Nazarov cyclization. The use of photoirradiation conditions is found to be crucial for promoting the key electrocyclization and mitigating the competing oxo-Michael pathway.
