“…Over the past two decades, substantial portions of all four compounds have been synthesized by the groups of Kobayashi (C1–C10; C17–C29), Armstrong (C18–C29), Carter (C7–C20), Dai (C18–C26), Ferrié (C1–C9), Forsyth (C1–C9; C11–C25; C1–C14; C15–C25), Mohapatra (C1–C9; C19–C34), Morken (C1–C15), Pagenkopf (C1–C9; C18–C34), Roush (C1–C9; C11–C29), Spilling (C1–C9; C18–C29; C18–C34), and Williams (C10–C25) . These meticulous and extensive synthetic studies have culminated in the recent total syntheses of amphidinolides F and C by the groups of Fürstner and Carter , and the total syntheses of amphidinolides F and C2 by the group of Ferrié …”
