    Abstract

    Chamical Equation Presentation Waiting in line: Aldehyde groups take turns reacting in a Sml2-mediated cyclization cascade to form the skeleton 2 of the antibacterial natural product pleuro-mutilin. Two rings and four contiguous stereocenters are constructed during the cascade with complete diastereocontrol. © 2009 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KCaA.
