(Chemical Equation Presented) A formal total synthesis of the oxopentaene macrolide antibiotic RK-397 has been achieved. Nine stereocenters were established by a combination of allylation and our asymmetric hydration reactions and a 1,5-anti-selective ald

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.
