title: Total synthesis of (+/-)-acetoxyodontoschismenol using zirconium chemistry.
abstract: The dolabellane diterpene (+/-)-acetoxyodontoschismenol has been synthesised for the first time by a short route in which a three component coupling on zirconium is used to assemble all the carbons needed for the skeleton in onepot.
