Abstract

Abstract Image

A total synthesis of (+)-phomactin A is described using a B-alkyl Suzuki macrocyclization to incorporate the isolated trisubstituted olefin. This macrocyclization was accomplished with the sensitive hydrated furan ring in place. (R)-(+)-pulegone was used to establish the highly substituted cyclohexene core of the molecule.
