Abstract
(Chemical Equation Presented) No bones about it: The first enantioselective total synthesis of the osteoclastogenesis inhibitor (+)-symbioimine (1) has been achieved. The synthesis features a convergent enol silane addition to a dimethyl acetal and a key, possibly biomimetic, intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction promoted by a dihydropyridinium ion to build four of the five requisite stereocenters in one step.
