A convergent synthesis of carbocyclic sinefungin <b>2</b> and its C5 epimer <b>3</b> is described. The key features in our synthesis include the use of commercial available L-methionine and readily available (1<i>R</i>, 4<i>S</i>)-4-hydroxy-2-cyclopentenyl acetate as starting materials, cross-metathesis coupling, enzymatic kinetic resolution and Staudinger reduction. The current synthesis is flexible and therefore provides convenient access to the synthesis of various carbocyclic SIN analogues f ...[more]
