Significance

Palmerolide A, isolated from the antarctic marine invertebrate Synoicum adarianum, exhibits potent and selective antitumor activity against melanoma cell lines. A tandem asymmetric hetero-Diels-Alder reaction/allylboration and an alkenylboronate Ireland-Claisen rearrangement were notable steps in the synthesis.
