Enantioselective synthesis of a marine antibiotic (-)-atrop-abyssomicin C was accomplished in 21 steps, in 1.8% overall yield (4%, based on the recovered starting material). The key steps of the synthesis are the formation of the functionalized cyclohexane core by an organocatalyzed Tsuji-Trost reaction, the formation of a tricyclic spirotetronate unit by a gold-catalyzed reaction sequence and the highly efficient eleven-membered ring closure by a Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi reaction. Biological tests showed all abyssomicin derivatives to possess strong antibacterial activity against methicillin resistant S. aureus strains; however, they also proved to be cytotoxic, both to malignant and to normal somatic cells.

Rolling in the deep: An enantioselective synthesis of a marine antibiotic (-)-atrop-abyssomicin C (see scheme) is described. The key steps of the synthetic sequence are the application of dual catalysis in the formation of the cyclohexane core, the gold-catalyzed formation of a tricyclic spirotetronate unit, and a highly efficient eleven-membered ring closure by a Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi reaction.
