title: Rapid synthesis of the A-E fragment of ciguatoxin CTX3C.
abstract: The A-E fragment of the marine natural product CTX3C has been prepared in an efficient manner by using a strategy in which two-directional and iterative ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reactions were employed for ring construction.
