(Chemical Equation Presented) A de novo approach to the formal total synthesis of the macrolide natural product (-)-apicularen A has been achieved in 18 steps'from achiral starting materials. Both the absolute and relative stereochemistries of apicularen A were introduced by a Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation, a π-allyl-palladium catalyzed reduction, a stereoselective reduction, and a base-promoted transannulation to install the C-9 stereocenter.
