The difficulty in synthesizing Maoecrystal V arises not from individual bottlenecks, but from the interaction of having several bottlenecks in close proximity to each other. Skeletal C-C bond formation should not necessarily be prioritized over other skeletal bond formation A continuing challenge in organic synthesis is the construction of all-carbon quaternary (stereo)centers, a challenge which is lessened by rendering the bond forming steps intramolecular
