The total synthesis of the actin-targeting metabolite (-)-microcarpalide is described. Ring-closing metathesis of a dienic ester was used as the key step. d-Mannitol was used as the chiral pool material for the construction of the olefinic acid moiety as well as the olefinic alcohol moiety of the molecule.
