An efficient strategy for the total synthesis of (+)-przewalskin B is reported. The key steps feature an intermolecular SN2鈥?substitution of iodoallylic phosphate with organocupper reagent, a diastereoselective organocatalytic aldol cyclization, as well as a Rh2(OAc)4-mediated intramolecular carbene insertion to the tertiary C鈥揌 bond.
