The synthesis features a three-step sequence to the epoxyquinol core that serves as a scaffold for the attachment of the polyene side chains. The eastern polyene side chain was constructed via a novel organozirconocene-mediated synthesis. Zirconocene methodology was also applied to the synthesis of the polyene side chains of asukamycin. The southern side chain of nisamycin was introduced via a Stille reaction that employed a vinyl bromo ketone, derived from an acid-sensitive bromo ketal. Pd-mediated coupling of the vinyl bromide with a stannyl TIPS ester gave TIPS-protected nisamycin that was readily converted to the natural product. date: 1999-07-09 date_type: published publication: Journal of Organic Chemistry volume: 64 number: 14 pagerange: 5053 - 5061 refereed: TRUE issn: 0022-3263 id_number: 10.1021/jo990413m citation: Wipf, P and Coish, PDG (1999) Total synthesis of (±)-nisamycin.
