Synthetic Studies on Hemicalide: Development of a Convergent Approach toward the C1–C25 Fragment

Synthetic studies on hemicalide, a recently isolated marine natural product displaying highly potent antiproliferative activity and a unique mode of action, have highlighted a reliable Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons olefination to create the C6–C7 alkene and a remarkable efficient Suzuki–Miyaura coupling to form the C15–C16 bond, resulting in the development of a convergent approach toward the C1–C25 fragment
