Significance

Proline catalysis of two directed aldol reactions and an α-oxyamination reaction are salient features of a very concise and efficient synthesis of callipeltoside C.

Comment

This first synthesis of callipeltoside C established the correct absolute stereochemistry of the pendent 2-O-methylevalose (N).
