Abstract The fungal metabolites rubrolide R and S were synthesized in concise, entirely stereoselective fashion through the combined use of bromine-stereodirected vinylogous aldol condensation (SVAC) and Suzuki cross-coupling. A bioinspired, high-yield conversion of rubrolide R to rubrolide S is also reported.
