A sulfamidate-based stereoselective total synthesis of (+)-preussin has been developed. The key step involves a gold(I)-catalyzed intramolecular dehydrative amination of sulfamate esters tethered to allylic alcohols, which allows for the construction of the cyclic sulfamidate with high stereoselectivity. Further manipulation to highly constrained bicyclic sulfamidate and the following ring-opening process afford 3-hydroxypyrrolidine motif stereoselectively. The energy of the constrained bicyclic ring system is relieved by the subsequent ring-opening process, which leads to a stereoselective formation of the 3-hydroxypyrrolidine motif under mild reaction conditions. The success of this approach not only provides a new method for the total synthesis of enantiomerically pure (+)-preussin but also highlights the synthetic utility of sulfamidates in constructing valuable natural product architectures.
