A highly efficient and stereocontrolled enantioselective total synthesis of the antibiotic ionophore X-14547A (indanomycin) (1) is described.A particulary concise approach to the key pyranaldehyde intermediate 3 features the use of reductive lithiation to append the axial C(7) pyran side chain.A Wittig reaction was employed to couple the two major subunits 3 and 4 followed by intramolecular cycloaddition to complete the framework.
