title: A novel approach to the CDE ring system of pectenotoxin-4 triggered by VO(acac)(2)-induced epoxy-acetalization.
abstract: A novel approach to the CDE fragment of pectenotoxin-4 is described wherein the bicyclic acetal is constructed via a cascade cyclization induced by VO(acac)(2) epoxidation of a homoallylic alcohol.
