Total synthesis of hippospongic acid A, an inhibitor of gastrulation of starfish embryos, has been studied. A compound having the structure assigned to hippospongic acid A was synthesized enantioselectively. The spectral data of the synthetic compound were slightly different from those of the natural product and an alternative structure was proposed for the natural product.
