(Matrix Presented) A novel asymmetric total synthesis of marine natural product (+)-Laurenyne has been achieved. The key elements of the strategy are the sequential metal ion-templated SN2′ cyclization affording a highly functionalized chiral vinyl cyclobutane and a retro-Claisen rearrangement for the construction of an eight-membered ring ether.
