title: Total synthesis of the siderophore danoxamine.
abstract: The total synthesis of the linear trihydroxamate siderophore, Danoxamine, is described. Danoxamine is a siderophore component of the naturally occurring siderophore-drug conjugates Salmycin A-D. The synthesis of Danoxamine features a series of coupling reactions involving N-(5-benzyloxypentyl)-O-benzylhydroxylamine being linked by a succinoyl linker to N-(benzyloxy)-1,5-pentanediamine. Two more succinoyl linkers and another N-(benzyloxy)-1,5-pentanediamine were used in coupling reactions to afford the fully protected siderophore. The linear tetrabenzyl-protected trihydroxamate was deprotected to afford the natural product Danoxamine.
