WilliamsJournal of the American Chemical Society2011 133 (38), 14968-14971The 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 ...
