Abstract

The total synthesis of the resorcylic acid lactones (−)-zearalenone and (−)-zearalanone is described. Our synthetic strategy relies on Ni-, Zr-, and Cr-mediated intramolecular reductive ketone coupling to create 14-membered macrolactones. Notably, the use of CrCl2 in addition to Ni/Zr-mediated reductive ketone coupling conditions was key for the success of the macrocyclization.
