An enantioselective synthesis of (+)-biotin 1 starting from naturally available cysteine is described. The key steps are the unusual stereochemical outcome of radical cyclization of compound 10 to prepare 5,5-fused system 11, and the introduction of C4-sidechain at C6 in 13 via a Grignard reaction.
