Total Synthesis of Bryostatin 8 Using an Organosilane‐Based Strategy

Convergent total synthesis of bryostatin 8 has been accomplished by an organosilane-based strategy. The C ring is constructed stereoselectively through a geminal bis(silane)-based [1,5]-Brook rearrangement, and the B ring through geminal bis(silane)-based Prins cyclization, thus efficiently joining the northern and southern parts of the molecule.
