Abstract

Abstract Image

An expeditious synthesis of erythronolide A is documented. Key steps of the approach include two magnesium-mediated nitrile oxide cycloadditions, a chelation-controlled Grignard reaction, and a Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation.

      The complexity and low tractability of antibiotic macrolides pose serious challenges to addressing the problem of resistance through semi- or total synthesis. Here we describe a new strategy involving the preparation of a complex yet tractable macrocycle ...
