Zusammenfassung:
Marvel of the sea: A concise and highly convergent total synthesis of the methyl ester of the marine macrolide spirastrellolide F (see picture), which has exquisite antimitotic properties, is reported. In this approach, the northern and the southern hemispheres of this intricate target are stitched together in only two consecutive steps (Suzuki coupling, Yamaguchi lactonization) without any interim protecting-group manipulations.
