A synthesis of the marine natural product ieodomycin D has been achieved in seven steps and 16% overall yield from commercially available pyridinium-1-sulfonate. The key synthetic step was a B-alkyl Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction. The enantiomer of ieodomycin D was also prepared using the same synthetic strategy.
