title: Total synthesis of pseudodehydrothyrsiferol.
abstract: An enantioselective total synthesis of pseudodehydrothyrsiferol has been accomplished. The synthetic sequence highlights formation of the highly strained tetrahydropyran C-ring by a Mitsunobu-type S(N)2 reaction with an oxygen nucleophile.
