The total synthesis of FD-895 was completed through a strategy that featured the use of a tandem esterification ring-closing metathesis (RCM) process to construct the 12-membered macrolide and a modified Stille coupling to append the side chain. These studies combined with detailed analysis of all four possible C16-C17 stereoisomers were used to confirm the structure of FD-895 and identify an analog with an enhanced subnanomolar bioactivity. ...[more]
