title: Total synthesis of (8R,6'R)-peridinin-5,8-furanoxide.
abstract: The first total synthesis of (8R,6'R)-peridinin-5,8-furanoxide, a C37 xanthophyll norcarotenoid, has been achieved. The key steps of the synthetic sequence are a Julia-Kocienski condensation and a late stage stereoretentive Stille cross-coupling of an iodoallene.
