Abstract
The first synthesis of the antiinflammatory marine natural product luffariellolide has been achieved by a convergent pathway involving sp 3 -sp 3 cross-coupling and silyloxyfuran oxyfunctionalisation as key steps. An illustration of the inherent flexibility of this strategy is provided by a simple synthesis of α,β-acariolide and its γ-hydroxylated derivative from a common silyloxyfuran precursor.
