title: Total synthesis of (+/-)-13-methoxy-15-oxozoapatlin, a rearranged kaurane diterpenoid.
abstract: A 21-step linear synthesis of the structurally novel and biologically intriguing diterpenoid (+/-)-13-methoxy-15-oxozoapatlin (6) is described. Of particular note in this work is the development of a new method for the construction of the functionalized bicyclo[3.2.1]octane unit present in the target substance.
