title: The Stille reaction in the synthesis of carotenoid butenolides: synthesis of 6'-epi-peridinin.
abstract: A new strategy for carotenoid butenolides has been developed that is based in part in halogen-selective Stille cross-coupling of dihalogenated ylidenebutenolide segment 2 and highly functionalized alkenylstannanes. [reaction: see text]
