title: Concise enantioselective synthesis of ent-malbrancheamide B.
abstract: A concise enantioselective synthesis of the fungal metabolite ent-malbrancheamide B was accomplished through the union of a C-prenylated proline derivative and a substituted indole pyruvic acid SEM enol ether, followed by a cationic double cyclization as the key step.
