Abstract

Intelligent design: The total synthesis of the cytotoxic (-)- FR182877 relies on 1) tandem Diels-Alder reactions to close rings A-D (see scheme), 2) a palladium-mediated 7- exo-trig reaction, and 3) an iridium-mediated isomerization followed by epimerization and stereoselective reduction.
