Abstract
An ocean of discovery: The first total synthesis of the highly oxygenated, marine-derived, natural product sporolide B has been achieved through a convergent strategy. The key steps involve a ruthenium-catalyzed [2+2+2] cycloaddition to assemble the indene structural motif and a thermally induced Diels-Alder-type reaction to forge the macrocycle (see scheme).Entities:
