title: Synthesis of labdane diterpenes galanal A and B from (+)-sclareolide.
abstract: The first chemical synthesis of galanal A and B was achieved by a concise and highly efficient pathway starting from commercially available (+)-sclareolide and features a Wittig reaction and a titanocene-mediated radical cyclization as the key steps.
