title: The total synthesis and stereochemical revision of yanucamide A.
abstract: [reaction: see text] The first total synthesis of yanucamide A is reported via amide and ester couplings of the key components. This synthesis has established the configuration at the previously ambiguous 3-position, and also revised the stereochemistry at the 22-position, to give 3S,12S,17S,22S for the natural product.
