A cascade strategy enables a total synthesis of (-)-gephyrotoxin.
A concise and efficient synthesis of (-)-gephyrotoxin from L-pyroglutaminol has been realized. The key step in this approach is a diastereoselective intramolecular enamine/Michael cascade reaction that forms two rings and two stereocenters and generates a stable tricyclic iminium cation. A hydroxy-d...
