title: Progress toward the total synthesis of (+/-)-actinophyllic acid.
abstract: This paper describes ongoing progress toward the synthesis of the novel indole alkaloid actinophyllic acid via a synthetic strategy that allows for the installation of all C-atoms (highlighted in red) requisite for completion of a total synthesis.
