Keywords
(–)-colombiasin A - marine diterpenoids - enantioselective hetero-Diels–Alder reaction - Negishi coupling - Wittig reaction - intermolecular Diels–Alder reaction - cross-metathesis - intramolecular Diels–Alder reaction - Barton–McCombie deoxygenation
Significance
In 2005, Jacobsen and co-workers reported the total synthesis of (–)-colombiasin A. Their synthetic strategy hinges on the employment of three sequential Diels–Alder reactions.

Comment
The intramolecular Diels–Alder reaction was performed by elimination of the alcohol in quinone N, forming the diene in situ. Reduction and demethylation of O yielded the natural product.
