A stereoselective total synthesis of jomthonic acid A is described. The key features of the synthetic strategy are a Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation, a Gilmann reagent-induced methylation, a Mitsunobu reaction, a Yamaguchi esterification, and an O -(benzotriazol-1-yl)- N, N, N ′, N ′-tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate (TBTU)-mediated amide coupling. Jomthonic acid A is an architecturally rare amino acid containing a β-methylphenylalanine residue and a 4-methyl-(2 E,4 E)-hexa-2,4-dienoate moiety. It shows antidiabetic and antiatherogenic activities when tested against mouse ST-13 preadiopocytes.
