Abstract

We have been interested in the application of readily available, fermentation-derived natural products as key building blocks for the preparation of natural product-like libraries rich in structural and stereochemical diversity. In this manuscript we describe the conversion of methyl nonactate, derived from nonactin, to a diversable scaffold characteristic of macrolide natural products. The synthesis features a key ring-closing metathesis reaction to form the macrocycle.
