title: A concise synthesis of (+)-salvadione B.
abstract: The novel hexacyclic triterpene salvadione B was synthesized in seven steps from the chiral quinone shown. The insight gained from this synthesis permitted a two-step, one-pot sequence to introduce the three additional rings and seven chiral centers.
