title: A concise approach to the polycyclic scaffold of frondosin D.
abstract: In a study directed at developing a concise approach to the polycyclic core of frondosin D, a Stille-Heck sequence has been identified that gives direct access to the trimethylbicyclo[5.4.0]undecane ring system common to all frondosins.
