Abstract
A concise and efficient total synthesis of (+)-3,4-epoxycembrene-A 1, an ep oxy cembrane diterpenoid from tropical marine soft coral, is described. The synthesis features the use of an intramolecular McMurry coupling and Sharp less asymmetric epoxidation as key steps. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. Al l rights reserved.
