28. Frontalin, a structurally similar bicyclic acetal, was recently synthesized using ring-closing metathesis as the key step. The retrosynthetic strategy used for (-)-frontalin is distinguished from that which we employed for the brevicomins by a different C-C bond disconnection in the six-membered ring and introduction of the 1(S)-stereocenter via Mukiyama asymmetric allylation or Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation.
