title: Application of RCM reaction in the construction of ABC ring of micrandilactone A.
abstract: [reaction: see text] The functionalized ABC ring system of micrandilactone A was successfully constructed in 14 steps. The key reactions in this synthesis are the intermolecular Diels-Alder reaction (IMDA) and the eneyne ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reaction.
