title: Total synthesis and structural confirmation of brevisamide, a new marine cyclic ether alkaloid from the dinoflagellate Karenia brevis.
abstract: The first total synthesis of brevisamide (1) has been accomplished in 21 linear steps starting from cis-but-2-ene-1,4-diol. A synthetic highlight is the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling between an ether ring fragment and a dienol side chain. This result confirmed the structure of 1 isolated from the dinoflagellate Karenia brevis.
