Abstract

Abstract Brevetoxin A is a decacyclic ladder toxin that possesses 5-, 6-, 7-, 8-, and 9- membered oxacycles, as well as 22 tetrahedral stereocenters. Herein, we describe a unified approach to the B, E, G, and J rings based upon a ring-closing metathesis strategy from the corresponding dienes. The enolate technologies developed in our laboratory allowed access to the precursor acyclic dienes for the B, E, and G medium-ring ethers. The ...
