Key features of this synthesis include the use of a bimetallic linchpin for uniting the C(1)-C(15) (II) and the C(20)-C(27) (III) fragments of the natural product, a late-stage Suzuki macrocyclization and a highly diastereoselective transannular Diels-Alder reaction of a macrocyclic octaene. In contrast, the intramol. Diels-Alder reaction of a pentaenal provided the desired cycloadduct with lower stereoselectivity (6:1:1).
