Abstract

The synthesis of the two proposed structures of macrocyclic marine natural product 'upenamide is reported. The key step utilizes direct imine acylation (DIA) with a protected β-hydroxy acid to construct the key tricyclic ABC ring system. The macrocyclization was completed in the final step using a Stille cross-coupling reaction.
