Abstract
AbstractWe have achieved the first total synthesis of bipolarolides A and B, which possess an intriguing and complex 5/6/6/6/5 caged pentacyclic skeleton with seven contiguous stereocenters. The synthesis features a lithium‐halogen exchange/intermolecular nucleophilic addition to link two enantioenriched fragments, two ring‐closing metathesis reactions to assemble the five‐ and eight‐membered rings, and a bioinspired Prins reaction/ether formation cascade cyclization to construct the 5/6/6/6/5 caged skeleton.
