Abstract

The total synthesis of cytotoxic marine phosphomacrolides, (−)-enigmazole A and (−)-15-O-methylenigmazole A, is described in detail. The 2,6-cis-substituted tetrahydropyran ring was efficiently elaborated by using a tandem olefin cross-metathesis/intramolecular oxa-Michael addition reaction. The 18-membered macrolactone skeleton was forged via a Au-catalyzed propargylic benzoate rearrangement/macrocyclic ring-closing metathesis sequence. Late-stage diversification of a common intermediate enabled unified total synthesis of (−)-enigmazole A and (−)-15-O-methylenigmazole A.
