The stereo-controlled total synthesis of (-)-domoic acid is described. The critical construction of the C1'-C2' -configuration was accomplished by taking advantage of an unsaturated lactam structure. The side chain fragment was introduced in the final stages of synthesis through a modified Julia-Kocieński reaction, aiming for its efficient derivatization.
