title: Asymmetric synthesis of corsifuran A by an enantioselective oxazaborolidine reduction.
abstract: Corsifuran A has been prepared in an enantiomerically pure form for the first time by an asymmetric reduction procedure, allowing confirmation of the absolute stereochemistry of the natural product as (R).
