title: Total synthesis of amaminol A: establishment of the absolute stereochemistry.
abstract: The first synthetic route to amaminol A with use of an organocatalytic intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction is reported. The absolute stereochemistry is proven with a crystallographic image of a cyclic carbamate of amaminol A.
