The elansolids A1-A3, B1, and B2 are secondary metabolites formed by the gliding bacterium <i>Chitinophaga sancti</i>. They show antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria. A second generation total synthesis of the antibiotic elansolid B1 (<b>2</b>) and the first synthesis of elansolid B2 (<b>3</b>) are reported. In contrast to previous work, the (<i>Z,E,Z)</i>-triene at C10-C15 was assembled by using an optimized C-C cross-coupling sequence with a Suzuki cross-coupling reaction as k ...[more]
