The total synthesis of (+)-pramanicin (41b) is reported, thereby establishing the relative and absolute stereochemistry of the naturally occurring antifungal agent. The key steps involve (i) conjugate addition of the diethyl((diethylamino)diphenylsilyl)zincate to a suitably protected γ- lactam 3 and quenching of the resultant enolate with the α,β-unsaturated γ,δ-epoxy aldehyde 2 (X = H), (ii) Ni(acac)2-catalyzed hydroxylation of a β-dicarbonyl array, and (iii) Fleming-Tamao oxidation to reveal the masked C-3 hydroxyl group.
