Abstract

"Chemical Equation Presented" Mapping the matrix: Several coralloidolides, members of a Mediterranean branch of the furanocembranoid family of diterpenes, have been synthesized. The total syntheses include biomimetic transformations that often occur with high chemoselectivity, thus obviating the need for protecting-group manipulations. The fascinating reactivity of 2,5-diene-1,4dione moieties was explored in detail.
