Abstract
The choice of protecting groups proved imperative for successful macrocyclization in the total synthesis of the 18-membered macrolide concanamycin F (1), which is a potent inhibitor of vacuolar (H+) ATPases. A C14-C22 subunit was prepared with complete stereocontrol by using asymmetric, boron-mediated, aldol reactions with appropriate chiral ketones. Other key steps included a copper(I)-mediated, Liebeskind cross-coupling and a Mukaiyama aldol reaction for subunit assembly.
