Abstract

A short total synthesis of the cytotoxic natural product pachastrissamine is described. The synthesis includes eight steps starting from Garner's aldehyde and proceeds in 20% overall yield. Pd(0)-mediated intramolecular cyclisation and Ru-mediated cross-metathesis are the key reactions in this sequence.
