The synthesis of the novel squalene synthase inhibitor, bisabosqual A, was completed in 14 steps (longest linear sequence) from commercially available starting materials. The doubly convergent route employs a tandem 5-exo, 6-exo radical cyclization as the key step. This reaction assembles the fully functionalized tetracyclic core and introduces three stereogenic centers. Other effective transformations are the regioselective deoxygenation of an advanced enone intermediate and the chemo- and diastereoselective addition of trimethylaluminum to a ketone in the presence of esters.
