title: Convergent synthesis of fostriecin via selective alkene couplings and regioselective asymmetric dihydroxylation.
abstract: A highly convergent synthesis of fostriecin is described, featuring sequential palladium-catalyzed Negishi cross couplings to form the C7-C8 bond and C8-methyl bond, followed by late-stage regio- and stereoselective dihydroxylation of C8-C9.
