(+)-clionastatin A - (+)-clionastatin B - androstanes - Ireland–Claisen rearrangement - Heck reaction - olefin dichlorination - structural revision
Significance
Gui and co-workers report the first total synthesis of (+)-clionastatins A and B, a novel class of polyhalogenated steroids isolated from a natural source. The synthesis led to revision of the originally proposed structures.

Comment
Acyl telluride C was accessed in three steps from enone A. Subsequent regioselective acyl radical addition afforded enol triflate E which underwent an intramolecular Heck reaction. Sultine I then allowed for diastereoselective dichlorination of the cyclohexene motive furnishing dichloride J. Finally, desaturation and chlorination gave rise to the natural products.
