title: Total synthesis of desferrisalmycin B.
abstract: The first total synthesis of a naturally occurring siderophore antibiotic, desferrisalmycin B, is described, and the configuration of the unknown stereocenter is assigned. The synthesis features a synthetic strategy of constructing the novel amino-heptopyranoside component by stereoselective dihydroxylation followed by a Bose-modified Mitsunobu reaction. Through this convergent approach, other members of salmycins should also be synthetically accessible.
