In the first part of the thesis, the author introduces the research background and reviews the research progress in total synthesis of Maoecrystal V. In the second part, the author develops a novel and concise approach for the stereoselective construction of the tetracyclic model system of Maoecrystal V. The model system is accomplished in 8 steps with 20% yield. In the third part, the author describes the first successful total synthesis of Maoecrystal V and investigates four strategies for constructing the key tetrahydrofuran oxa-bridge skeleton. The total synthesis starts from a known compound and is accomplished in 17 steps with 1.2% yield. The successful total synthesis of Maoecrystal V will contribute to the development of efficient synthetic strategies for natural products and other compounds with complex structures %L 547 %K Chemistry %K Chemistry, Organic %K Biochemistry %K Catalysis %9 Text %R 10.1007/978-3-642-54304-3 %U https://swbplus.bsz-bw.de/bsz402417747cov.jpg %U https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-54304-3
