title: First total synthesis of (+/-)-taxifolial a and (+/-)-iso-caulerpenyne.
abstract: The first synthesis of (+/-)-taxifolial A and iso-caulerpenyne was accomplished. The key steps in the sequence are (1) the stereoselective assembly of a vinyltin derived from butynediol and a functionalized aldehyde and (2) the construction of the dienyne moiety via a Stille cross-coupling.
