Significance

Isolated from Streptomyces sp. TP-A0356, (+)-yatakemycin is a potent antitumor antibiotic, which acts by the sequence-selective alkylation of DNA. Key to this synthesis is the preparation of fragments E, L, and I in expedient and high-yielding fashion by copper-mediated aryl amination reactions.
