The (-)-epi-claulansine D in the solid state exists in a metastable form, and after an induction period of 30-90 days, it underwent complete epimerization to exclusively deliver the desired natural product (-)-claulansine D in quantitative yield. The witnessed inversion of C-centrochirality in the solid state is conceptually novel and takes place for relatively higher crystal stability reasons. Base-catalyzed ring expansion of both (+/-)/(-)-epi-claulansine D and (+/-)/(-)-claulansine D resulted in (+/-)/(+)-epi-claulansine C in very good yields.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4.849</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
