Abstract

An improved synthesis of (3S)-3-dihydronarbonolide is reported that constitutes a formal total synthesis of the 14-membered macrolactone antibiotic narbonolide. The key step was an intramolecular Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi coupling to accomplish macrocyclization in improved yield. The high level of convergence will also allow us to rapidly synthesize narbonolide analogues for the study of enzymes in the pikromycin biosynthetic pathway.
