The concise total synthesis of dermostatin A is described. Highlights include a two-directional application of the asymmetric acetate aldol method developed in our lab, a novel diastereotopic-group-selective acetal isomerization for terminus differentiation, and a selective cross-metathesis reaction between a terminal olefin and a trienal. A study of the scope and viability of similar cross-metathesis reactions is also described. The synthesis is convergent and utilizes fragments of roughly equal complexity.
