title: An asymmetric total synthesis of brevisamide.
abstract: An enantioselective synthesis of marine alkaloid brevisamide was accomplished in a convergent manner. The synthesis utilized an enantioselective hetero-Diels-Alder reaction which sets three chiral centers in compound 11. The synthesis also features a modified Wolff-Kishner reduction, Rubottom oxidation, and Suzuki-Miyaura coupling to furnish brevisamide.
