Significance
Iejimalide B is a 24-membered polyene macrolide which exhibits potent anticancer activity. In consecutive communications two approaches to this marine natural product are reported. Initial attempts to construct the macrocycle via lactonizations failed. However, intermolecular esterification followed by a highly regioselective ring-closing metathesis led to the first total synthesis of iejimalide B.
