Taking shortcuts: A remarkably short and high-yielding asymmetric total synthesis of (−)-oseltamivir takes advantage of organocatalysis and single-pot domino operations. The target, known as the drug Tamiflu, is prepared efficiently in a short time, and also its derivatives can be synthesized effectively.
