title: Total synthesis of the ansamycin antibiotic (+)-thiazinotrienomycin E.
abstract: The first total synthesis of (+)-thiazinotrienomycin E (1), member of a novel class of cytotoxic ansamycin antibiotics, has been achieved. Key features of the synthetic strategy include (a) the efficient construction of sulfone 7 incorporating TBS protection of the aniline, (b) an improved synthesis of allyl chloride (-)-6, the advanced intermediate employed in our trienomycins A and F total syntheses, (c) application of the Kocienski modified Julia protocol to elaborate the E,E,E-triene subunit in a stereo-controlled fashion, (d) an efficient union of sulfone 7 with advanced iodide 62, and (e) Mukaiyama macrolactamization to access the thiazinotrienomycin macrocyclic ring.
