Article Title: The total synthesis of frondosin B
Abstract: The interleukin-8 receptor antagonist frondosin B (1) was synthesized in 12 steps from commercially available 5-methoxysalicylaldehyde in a completely regiocontrolled manner. The key steps of the synthesis were a Friedel-Crafts reaction to form the 7-membered ring and a Diels-Alder reaction to build the 6-membered ring, thereby fixing the double bond in the proper position.
