A short, efficient and highlystereoselective synthesis of (−)-(R,R)-muricatacin is reported. The key steps include a highly diastereoselective reduction of a β-ketosulfoxide to a β-hydroxy sulfoxide, regio- and stereoselective bromohydration of an olefin employing the sulfinyl group as an internal nucleophile and chemoselective reduction of a double bond in the presence of a halogen atom.
