Synthesis of the AviMeCys-containing D-ring of mersacidin

A chemical synthesis of the D-ring of mersacidin is reported. The synthetic route relied upon development of a method for late-stage introduction of an unusual S-[(Z)-2-aminovinyl]-(3S)-3-methyl-d-cysteine (AviMeCys) functional group via an oxidative decarbonylation/decarboxylation reaction.
