This lecture covers the total synthesis of Hirsutellone B, focusing on the strategies and reactions used by the instructor, including Nicolaou's approach, intramolecular D-A reactions, and the formation of macrocycles. Key tactics such as organocatalytic enantioselective epoxidation and Barton etherification are discussed, leading to the final product with a 1.2% overall yield.
