title: Hypervalent iodine-mediated vicinal syn diazidation: application to the total synthesis of (+/-)-dibromophakellstatin.
abstract: [reaction: see text] The total synthesis of (+/-)-dibromophakellstatin is described. The molecule is constructed from a key syn-diazide, formed by a hypervalent iodine-mediated diazidation of a dihydrodipyrrolopyrazinone ring structure.
