Abstract

The synthesis of two natural products - Taxifolione and Taxifolial D – isolated from the marine alga Caulerpa taxifolia invading the Mediterranean Sea was performed. Coupling reactions allowed for a rapid synthesis. The surprising Z configuration of Taxifolial D was confirmed after synthesis and comparison of each synthetic stereoisomer.

Keywords: Terpenoids, enynes, cross-coupling, antitumor agents
