First Total Synthesis of Mosin B

[figure: see text] The first total synthesis of mosin B and a diastereomer was accomplished using asymmetric desymmetrization of the sigma-symmetric diol and the Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi reaction as the key steps. The THF core segment was stereoselectively constructed employing a stereodivergent synthesis starting from a common intermediate, 4-cyclohexene-1,2-diol, based on a desymmetrization strategy. By virtue of these synthetic results, it is suggested that the absolute configuration is 1a.
