A short and efficient synthesis of neodysiherbaine A by using catalytic oxidative cyclization.

To the point: The synthesis of the title compound was achieved with 24 overall yield through a sequence that has just seven linear steps (see scheme). Key points are the facial selectivity displayed by an oxocarbenium ion derived from a ribopyranose system and an osmium-catalyzed oxidative cyclizati...
