title: Enantioselective total synthesis of (-)-neovibsanin G and (-)-14-epi-neovibsanin G.
abstract: The first total synthesis of vibsane-type diterpenoids neovibsanin G and 14-epi-neovibsanin G has been achieved. Key to this endeavour was a late stage EtAlCl(2) mediated skeletal rich cascade leading to the bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane core in one step.
