Significance
(-)-Pironetin is isolated from Streptomyces sp NK10958 and exhibits potent anti-tumor activity. The Nelson group uses the synthesis of (-)-pironetin to demonstrate the use of their iterative, alkaloid-catalyzed acyl halide-aldehyde cyclocondensation (AAC) reaction to prepare propionate subunits in a stereocontrolled manner.
