This account describes the convergent synthesis of (−)-okilactomycin. The first-generation approach focused on the assembly of two complex fragments through a Prins reaction of a dioxinone and α-hydroxy aldehyde. While this route was not ultimately successful, a related Maitland–Japp process employing a β-keto ester in place of the dioxinone fragment provided the necessary union of functionalized intermediate, thereby establishing the full carbon framework of the natural product. The synthesis also employed a highly diastereoselective Lewis acid-promoted Diels–Alder reaction and an olefin ring-closing metathesis to close the strained 11-membered macrocycle of the natural product.
This book series shows how synthesis is really done, and we are educated, challenged and inspired by these accounts, which portray the idea that triumphs do not come without challenges.
