Studies toward the total synthesis of gymnocin A, a cytotoxic polyether: a highly convergent entry to the F-N ring fragment.
[structure: see text] An efficient and highly convergent synthesis of the FGHIJKLMN ring fragment of gymnocin A, a cyctotoxic polycyclic ether isolated from the notorious red-tide forming dinoflagellate Gymnodinium mikimotoi, has been achieved. The present synthesis relied on extensive use of the B-alkyl Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction.
