Total Synthesis of Dictyodendrin A and B

In-do-line of fire: A highly efficient total synthesis of the title compounds features a novel benzyne-mediated one-pot indoline formation/cross-coupling sequence for the construction of a highly substituted key indoline intermediate. The peripheral substituents were then introduced onto the intermediate in a modular fashion to complete the total syntheses of dictyodendrin A and B.
