title: A stereoselective formal synthesis of leucascandrolide A.
abstract: A stereoselective formal synthesis of leucascandrolide A was accomplished through the tandem and organocatalytic oxa-Michael reactions, which were promoted by the gem-disubstituent effect, in conjunction with the dithiane coupling reaction.
