Abstract

A facile total synthesis of nonsymmetrical 14-membered macrocyclic bis-lactone, 4-ketoclonostachydiol has been demonstrated in a convergent approach. The synthetic strategy has been unambiguously successful towards incorporating all the three stereogenic centers present in the molecule with an overall yield of 0.9%. The key synthetic step includes MacMillan hydroxylation and Grubbs ring-closing metathesis reactions to furnish the core skeleton.
