Abstract

All things converge: A highly convergent synthesis of (-)-okilactomycin utilizes a Prins-type Maitland-Japp cyclization for the fragment assembly of two complex intermediates (see scheme). The synthesis also employs a highly diastereoselective Lewis acid promoted Diels-Alder reaction and an olefin ring-closing metathesis to close a strained 11-membered macrocycle.
