The first total synthesis of (+)- and (-)-furocaulerpin was accomplished. The key steps in the sequence are 1) the control of the chiral center by enzymatic resolution, 2) the control of the configuration of the central double bond, 3) the construction of the dienyne moiety via a Stille cross-coupling.

The first total synthesis of both enantiomers of furocaulerpin was accomplished in good yields with a high control of the stereogenic center by enzymatic resolution, a total control of the configuration of the central double bond and the construction of the dienyne moiety via a Stille cross-coupling.

Total Synthesis of Terpenoids Isolated from Caulerpale Algae and Their Inhibition of Tubulin Assembly
Total synthesis of four analogue terpenoids isolated from Caulerpa taxifolia was achieved in good yield with a total control of each double bond. Biological tests to compare the activities of in vitro tubulin polymerisation between the natural caulerpenyne and the synthetic caulerpenyne and its derivatives were also performed.
