Abstract
This chapter describes recent advances (2005–2015) in the use of metathesis reactions to construct the cyclic ether portions in the total synthesis of natural products. Advances in the synthesis of a range of marine polyether natural products are presented, and various strategic approaches to the bridged pyranmacrocycles neopeltolide and kendomycin are discussed. Finally, the synthesis of a range of biologically active, cyclic ether-based non-natural products is described.
