In the context of a proposed total synthesis of lankacidins, the synthesis of 4-(2-iodo-alkenyl)azetidinones and their participation in Stille coupling reactions have been investigated. 1-tert-Butyldimethylsilyl-4-(2-iodoethenyl) azetidinone was found to

A strategy for a total synthesis of lankacidin C 1 is outlined and the requisite building blocks synthesised. The azetidinone 4 was prepared from methyl but-2-ynoate 6 via a route which features the stereoselective addition of a tributyltin cuprate to the alkyne, an asymmetric aldol condensation and formation of the azetidinone by an intramolecular Mitsunobu reaction. The aldehyde 3 was prepared from dimethyl malate 18 and the sulfone 3 from prop-2-ynol 27 again using asymmetric aldol reactions as key steps.
