title: Toward the total synthesis of maoecrystal V: an intramolecular Diels-Alder route to the maoecrystal V pentacyclic core with the appropriate relative stereochemistry.
abstract: A diastereoselective route to the maoecrystal V core compound (6) has been achieved. Key transformations include an intramolecular Diels-Alder cyclization and an exo-glycal epoxide rearrangement sequence.
