Abstract

Using iterative lithiation-borylation homologations, the mycolactone toxin core has been synthesized in 13 steps and 17 % overall yield. The rapid build-up of molecular complexity, high convergence and high stereoselectivity are noteworthy features of this synthesis. Rapid complexity: Using iterative lithiation-borylation homologations, the mycolactone toxin core has been synthesized in 13 steps and 17 % overall yield. The rapid build-up of molecular complexity, high convergence and high stereoselectivity are noteworthy features of the synthesis
