The details of a convergent total synthesis of (+)-mycalamide A are descri7bed. Yb(OTf)3-TMSCl-catalyzed cross-aldol reaction conditions are used to synthesize the right segment of mycalamide A. In this reaction, an acid-sensitive aldehyde reacts with methyl trimethylsilyl dimethylketene acetal without epimerization to provide the desired aldol adduct. Additionally, a tetrahydropyran ring, which is the left segment of mycalamide A, is prepared using a novel one-pot δ-lactone formation methodology. Both segments are constructed from a common starting material, D-mannitol. These segments are then coupled in the presence of BuLi, and the functional groups are transformed to complete the synthesis of (+)-mycalamide A.

The synthesis of mycalamide B, theopederin D and pederin, which are antitumour agents was discussed. All three compounds were prepared from 6-lithio-2,3-dimethyl-4-phenylselenomethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran and 2-(3-chloropropyl)-3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran-4-one. Ground state conformational models were proposed to explain the stereoselectivity of the reactions. The absolute and relative stereochemistry of the compounds has been established by X-ray crystallography and NMR studies.

Theopederin D, a cytotoxic metabolite from a sponge of the genus Theonella, was synthesised in 14 steps (11.1% overall yield) from two advanced intermediates previously used in a synthesis of mycalamide B. A formal synthesis of pederin from similar intermediates is also reported.
