title: First total synthesis and stereochemical definition of isodomoic acid G.
abstract: [structure: see text] The first total synthesis and stereochemical definition of isodomoic acid G has been achieved. The key nickel-catalyzed coupling of an alkynyl enone with an alkenylzirconium allows formation of the pyrrolidine ring and most of the stereochemical features in a single step. This report provides the first total synthesis application of this new reaction and illustrates its utility in the stereoselective preparation of highly substituted 1,3-dienes.
