title: Total synthesis of aspercyclides A and B via intramolecular oxidative diaryl ether formation.
abstract: A highly efficient total synthesis of the 11-membered cyclic aspercyclides A (1) and B (2) has been achieved by chemo- and regioselective intramolecular oxidative C-O bond formation from differently substituted diphenols.
