43. 19F NMR spectroscopy (see the Supporting Information for full details). This result is consistent with our synthetic (-)-gephyrotoxin 14 sample being produced as a single enantiomer.

45. This is an average of three measurements.
46. We have derivatized 12 to intersect with Kishi's route. Our material has the opposite sign of optical rotation to that prepared by Kishi; see the Supporting Information for details.

48. An intermediate from the Kishi synthesis has been successfully resynthesized in both enantiomeric forms by several groups (see Ref. [11 a-f] for details). This confirms the relative and absolute configuration of this intermediate.

51. Installation of the correct C1 side chain earlier in the synthesis was achieved, but attempts to perform a directed iminium reduction on this material led to exclusive generation of the non-natural 9, 10-trans stereochemistry, and so this approach was abandoned.
