Key words
(±)-rameswaralide - cembranoid diterpene - Diels–Alder reaction - Simmons–Smith cyclopropanation - Stille cross-coupling - Wacker–Tsuji oxidation - Michael addition - Julia–Kocienski olefination
Significance
Romo and co-workers report the first total synthesis of (±)-rameswaralide. The natural product is active against the A549 lung cancer cell line. The synthesis enabled study of the natural product and intermediates in assays for cyctotoxicity.

Comment
The seven-membered ring in rameswaralide is accessed by cyclopropanation of enol ether G and subsequent ring expansion to the dibromide I. The precursor N for the Michael addition is accessed in a convergent manner by cross coupling J and K.
