Total Synthesis of (-)-Grayanotoxin III

TLDR
The total synthesis of (-)-grayanotoxin III (3), a unique tetracyclic diterpene isolated from the leaves of various plants of the family Ericaceae, has been successfully accomplished featuring the highly stereoselective cyclization reactions induced by SmI 2.
