title: Expedient Route to the functionalized calyciphylline A-type skeleton via a Michael addition-RCM strategy.
abstract: An efficient, robust, and scalable strategy to access the functionalized core of calyciphylline A-type alkaloids has been developed starting from commercially available 3-methylanisole. Key features of this approach are an intramolecular Michael addition/allylation sequence and a ring-closing metathesis step.
