Significance

(+)-Liphagal was isolated in 2006 from the Caribbean sponge Aka coralliphaga and belongs to a family of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors. Structurally, (+)-liphagal consists of an unprecedented [6-7-5-6] tetracyclic motif. Herein, the first catalytic enantioselective approach is reported.
