title: Synthesis of an A-E gambieric acid subunit with use of a C-glycoside centered strategy.
abstract: This paper describes our synthesis of the A-E subunit of gambieric acid (GA) in addition to the synthesis of the A-ring and the C-E tricycle. The use of an enol ether-olefin RCM strategy to couple the A and C-E subunits and, in the process, generate the B-ring is noteworthy.
