title: A highly stereocontrolled total synthesis of (-)-neodysiherbaine A.
abstract: Neodysiherbaine A, a neuroexitotoxin occurring in a Micronesian marine sponge Dysidea herbacea, was synthesized from tri-O-acetyl-D-glucal with excellent stereocontrol. The method established enables us to obtain gram quantities of neodysiherbaine A and its related compounds.
