(R)-(-)-Rhazinilam has been synthesized in nine steps and 20% overall yield. The key steps involve two metal-catalyzed processes: the enantioselective gold(I)-catalyzed cycloisomerization of an allene-functionalized pyrrole and the palladium-catalyzed hydrocarboxylation of a vinyl moiety with formate as a CO surrogate. This novel strategy represents the shortest and highest yielding enantioselective total synthesis of (-)-rhazinilam.

In the presence of a catalytic amount of an imidodiphosphoric acid, enantioselective desymmetrization of bicyclic bislactones by reaction with alcohols took place smoothly to afford enantiomerically enriched monoacids having an all-carbon stereogenic center. Concise catalytic enantioselective syntheses of both (-)-rhazinilam and (-)-leucomidine B were subsequently developed using (S)-methyl 4-ethyl-4-formylpimelate monoacid as a common starting material. Breaking symmetry: Achiral bislactones (1) undergo desymmetrization by reaction with alcohol in the presence of chiral imidodiphosphoric acids. The monoacids 2, having an all-carbon stereogenic center, were obtained in good to excellent yields and enantioselectivities. Concise total syntheses of (-)-rhazinilam and (-)-leucomidine B were subsequently developed using 2 as a common starting material.
