Total synthesis of Alterbrassicene C:
John L Wood (Baylor University, #US) et al reported the first total synthesis of the terpenoid in #JACS (10.1021/jacs.2c12275). I feautered this #synthesis because I like these kinds of oxa-Michael cascade reactions. Since many terpenoid syntheses these days often involve CH activation strategies, it's refreshing to see other approaches in action.
