title: Stereocontrolled total synthesis of (-)-ebelactone A.
abstract: [structure: see text] The highly stereocontrolled hydroboration of an alkene, a subsequent Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction, a silylcupration on a nonterminal acetylene, and an iododesilylation were the key steps in a convergent total synthesis of (-)-ebelactone A.
