A convergent synthesis of (-)-borrelidin (1) is reported based on the retrosynthetic disconnections indicated in the picture. Highlights of the strategy include the construction of a strained enynone-containing macrolide and the installation of a cyano group in a regioselective manner by a novel molybdenum-catalyzed hydrostannation of the alkyne.
