A protecting group free asymmetric total synthesis of (-)-venlafaxine is reported. The strategy employs Sharpless epoxidation and regio-selective epoxide ring opening by an in situ generated Gilman reagent as key steps. This paper reports a 53\% overall yield in 6 steps for total synthesis of (-)-venlafaxine.
