Abstract

The stereoselective total synthesis of the pestalotioprolide C is disclosed in 13 linear steps in 4% overall yield. The key steps in this approach are a ring-closing-metathesis protocol for the construction of the 14-membered macrolide with E-olefinic bond, a Keck allylation, and a Sharpless kinetic resolution for the installation of desired stereocenters at C4 and C7.
