Nonactin is a polyketide antibiotic produced by Streptomyces griseus ETH A7796 and is an ionophore that is selective for K+ ions. It is a cyclic tetraester generated from two monomers of (+)-nonactic acid and two of (-)-nonactic acid, arranged

An efficient enantioselective route to nonactin using a novel β-inversion of an Evans syn aldol to construct the THF ring is presented. Through total synthesis, the structure for trilactone proposed in the literature is shown likely to be incorrect.
