The structurally novel antimitotic agent curacin A was prepared in 15 steps and in 2.6% yield for the longest linear sequence. Key steps in our synthesis are the use of a hydrozirconation-transmetalation protocol for the preparation of divinyl alcohol 8, the stereoselective formation of the acyclic triene segment 11 via enol triflate chemistry, and a second hydrozirconation of the conjugated triene followed by an isocyanide insertion. For the preparation of the heterocyclic moiety of curacin A, the oxazoline → thiazoline conversion offered an efficient access to the sensitive marine natural product.

Charette asymmetric cyclopropanation, chiral thiazoline synthesis by thioamide cyclization under modified Mitsunobu conditions, Ti(iPrO)4/bi-naphthol catalyzed allylstannane addition, and an exceptionally mild two-carbon homologation via dehydrative alkylation with phenylsulfonylacetonitrile/Ph3P/ADDP convened in an efficient, stereocontrolled route to the title bioactive heterocycle.
