Abstract
Holy macro! An intramolecular copper-mediated reductive Castro-Stephens reaction furnished a key macrocyclic triene intermediate for the total synthesis of oximidine II (see scheme). The total synthesis of the natural product was completed and the mechanism of this unprecedented key reaction was deduced.
