Unprecedentedly efficient and highly (≥98 %) stereoselective syntheses of mycolactones A and B side chains relied heavily on Pd-catalyzed alkenylation (Negishi version) and were completed in 11 longest linear steps from ethyl (S)-3-hydroxybutyrate in 12% and 11% overall yield, respectively, roughly corresponding to an average of 82% yield per step. The synthesis of mycolactone core was realized by using Pd-catalyzed alkenyl-allyl coupling and an epoxide-opening reaction with a trialkylalkenylalu ...[more]
