title: First enantioselective total synthesis of (-)-Centrolobine.
abstract: [structure: see text] The first enantioselective total synthesis of (-)-Centrolobine is described. The key reaction is the synthesis of the cis-disubstituted tetrahydropyran framework by intramolecular cyclization of the enantiopure hydroxyketone 3 with Et3SiH and TMSOTf. The stereoselective reduction of the beta-ketosulfoxide 4 is the source of chirality. Revision of the absolute configuration of (-)-Centrolobine is proposed.
