title: First total synthesis of the marine illudalane sesquiterpenoid alcyopterosin E.
abstract: The first synthesis of the marine illudalane sesquiterpenoid alcyopterosin E was accomplished through a concise ABC ring-formation strategy using a rhodium(I)-catalysed intramolecular alkyne cyclotrimerisation as key connection.
