Abstract

A polycyclic ether, brevisin was isolated from the red-tide dinoflagellate Karenia brevis. Its unique skeletal structure consists of two separate tricyclic ether assemblies connected by a methylene bridge. The ABC ring fragment of brevisin was synthesized via Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling toward a total synthesis of brevisin.
