abstract

  • Similar, but different: Possessing almost the same but not identical structures, the recently discovered natural products hopeahainol A (1) and hopeanol (2) exhibit important but differing biological properties (see structures). Their first total synthesis has now been achieved through a series of novel cascade reactions and skeletal rearrangements.
