The stereoselective total synthesis of (-)-funebrine from 2-butyn-1-ol was described. The crucial steps in the synthesis involved the stereoselective enolate Claisen rearrangement of the (S)-alpha-acyloxy-alpha-alkynylsilane 8, the Au-catalyzed regio- and stereoselective lactonization of the allenylsilane 7, and the Paal-Knorr pyrrole condensation using an unsymmetrical 1,4-diketone 4b.
