title: Biomimetic total syntheses of spirobacillenes A and B.
abstract: The first total syntheses of spirobacillenes A and B were achieved concisely. The key transformation leading to spirobacillene A features a biomimetic intramolecular phenol-enol oxidative coupling reaction, and that leading to spirobacillene B highlights a bio-inspired intramolecular indole-ketone enolate oxidative coupling reaction.
