Lithiation/borylation methodology has been developed for the synthesis of acyclic quaternary-tertiary motifs with full control of relative and absolute stereochemistry, thus leading to all four possible isomers of a stereodiad. A novel intramolecular Zweifel-type olefination enabled acyclic stereocontrol to be transformed into cyclic stereocontrol. These key steps have been applied to the shortest enantioselective synthesis of (-)-filiformin to date (9 steps) with full stereocontrol.
