title: Total synthesis of jimenezin via an intramolecular allylboration.
abstract: [structure: see text] An efficient total synthesis of the annonaceous acetogenin jimenezin was achieved. The key steps used were a highly stereoselective intramolecular allylboration to establish the tetrahydropyran ring and an intramolecular Williamson reaction to close the tetrahydrofuran ring.
