Significance
(-)-Nakadomarin A is marine alkaloid with an unusual 8/5/5/5/15/6 ring system. This total synthesis significantly reduces the longest linear sequence from 36 in the original synthesis by Nishida to 12 steps. This successful route relies on a stereoselective Michael addition, nitro-Mannich-lactamization cascade and finally a Z-selective ring-closing metathesis.
