15. Concurrent with our efforts, Willis et al. also achieved the total synthesis of (-)-clavosolide A; see: Barry, C. S.; Elsworth, J. D.; Sedan, T. P.; Bushby, N.; Harding, R. J.; Alder, W. R.; Willis, L. C. Org. Lett. 2006, 8, 3319. We thank Professor Willis for helpful discussion during the course of this synthetic venture.
