Abstract
(Chemical Equation Presented) A formal synthesis of psymberin (irciniastatin A) is presented. Notable features of the synthesis include the chemo-, regio-, and stereoselective oxidation of a 1,3-disubstituted allene, a configuration-dependent spirodiepoxide opening, the efficient syntheses of functionalized trans-2,6-disubstituted pyrans, and the union of a highly functionalized aldehyde with a pentasubstituted aryl homoenolate to give a dihydroisocumarin.
