Total synthesis of RK-397
Denmark, Scott E.,Fujimori, Shinji
, p. 8971 - 8973 (2007/10/03)
An enantioselective synthesis of the polyene macrolide RK-397 is described. The use of the same eight-carbon building block twice for the construction of the polyol chain allowed for a highly convergent synthesis. The synthesis highlights stereoselective vinylogous aldol addition using a chiral bisphosphoramide as well as a sequential palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction for the preparation of key fragments.

Total Synthesis of the Polyene-Polyol Macrolide RK-397, Featuring Cross-Couplings of Alkynylepoxide Modules
Burova, Svetlana A.,McDonald, Frank E.
, p. 2495 - 2500 (2007/10/03)
The total synthesis of the natural product RK-397 is based on a new synthetic strategy for assembling polyacetate structures, by efficient cross-coupling of nucleophilic terminal alkyne modules with electrophilic epoxides bearing another alkyne at the opp
