Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The total synthesis of (-)-frondosin B, the enantiomer of naturally-occuring (+)-frondosin B, is described, wherein a palladium-catalyzed cyclization is used to establish the tetracyclic ring system of the natural product. Graphical Abstract.
