Concise syntheses: of the DE and GH ring segments of gambierol (1) were ach
ieved by the palladium-catalyzed coupling of ketene acetal triflates and a
zinc homoenolate, followed by the hydroboration of the resulting cyclic eno
l ethers and subsequent lactonization. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All r
