title: Using singlet oxygen to synthesise the CDE-ring system of the pectenotoxins.
abstract: A non-classical route to the key CDE-ring fragment of the pectenotoxins has been developed which showcases a remarkable singlet oxygen-mediated cascade reaction sequence to install the complete DE ring system.
