Model diene urea 7 has been converted to the corresponding N-sulfinyl urea 11, which undergoes stereoselective intramolecular hetero [4+2]-cycloaddition to afford dihydrothiazine oxide adduct 12. Treatment of 12 with PhMgBr, followed by stereospecific [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement, yields 14 which has the AB ring system and C-7,8 and 10 configuration of cyclindrospermopsin (1).
