Abstract

A stereoselective synthesis of the JKLM ring fragment has been achieved through a coupling between two segments via heteroconjugate addition, seven-membered ether ring formation mediated by an acetylene cobalt complex and spiroketalization reaction.

Key words

acetylene cobalt complex - reductive decomplexation - heteroconjugate addition - medium sized ring - ciguatoxin
