The changing faces of halogenated marine natural products: total synthesis of the reported structures of elatenyne and an enyne from Laurencia majuscula.

Knocking them into shape: The total synthesis of two reported marine natural products containing halogenated pyrano-[3,2-b]pyrans (see example in blue) has led to the reassignment of both structures as halogenated 2,2′-bifuranyls (red).

Summary:Knocking them into shape: The total synthesis of two reported marine natural products containing halogenated pyrano-[3,2-b]pyrans (see example in blue) has led to the reassignment of both structures as halogenated 2,2′-bifuranyls (red). Concomitantly an efficient route to pyrano-[3,2-b]pyrans is described. (Chemical Equation Presented). © 2006 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH and Co. KGaA.
