    Abstract

    (Chemical Equation Presented) Family ties: The pestalotiopsin framework has been constructed by using a SmI2-mediated cyclization and a Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi coupling to construct the four- and nine-membered rings of the target, respectively. The first synthetic entry into the previously unexplored taedolidol family of natural products has been achieved through a stereoselective, acid-mediated cyclization of the pestalotiopsin skeleton. © 2008 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
