Abstract

Enantioselective total synthesis of reblastatin is described. The synthesis highlights hydrozirconation, transmetalation, aldehyde addition sequence to install E-trisubstituted olefin and C7 stereocenter, and the first use of an intramolecular Buchwald-like amidation reaction to close the 19-membered macrolactam.
