The first enantioselective total synthesis of clavirolide C, a member of the dolabellane family of diterpenes isolated from Pacific soft coral Clavularia viridis, is disclosed. The total synthesis features the application of chiral amino acid based ligands in Cu-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate addition (ACA) reactions and a relatively rare application of catalytic ring-closing metathesis to access an 11-membered ring structure. The total synthesis effort has spawned the development of a new proto ...[more]
