Abstract
The first total synthesis of α-costal (1) in racemic form has been achieved in an unequivocal manner whereby the structure previously assigned to the natural aldehyde is confirmed. A salient feature of the synthesis is the use of S-tert-butyl cyanothiolacetate to facilitate the introduction of the labile acrolein unit.Keywords
