title: Total synthesis of (+/-)-5,14-bis-epi-spirovibsanin A.
abstract: The total synthesis of (+/-)-5,14-bis-epi-spirovibsanin A was achieved in 18 steps. Physical data obtained from (+/-)-5,14-bis-epi-spirovibsanin A lends strong support to the proposed connectivity and relative stereochemistry of spirovibsanin A.
