title: Enantioselective synthesis of the C8-C20 segment of curvicollide C.
abstract: The enantioselective synthesis of the C8-C20 fragment of curvicollide C has been accomplished. A catalytic asymmetric Claisen rearrangement (CAC), a diastereoselective methyl cupration of an alkynoate, and a Julia-Kocienski olefination served as key C/C-connecting transformations.
