Total synthesis of (-)-callystatin A.
[reaction: see text] A convergent enantioselective synthesis of the natural product (-)-callystatin A (1) is described. Key features of the synthesis include a lipase-mediated kinetic resolution to install the C5 lactone stereochemistry, a hydrozirconation-based approach to the C8-C9 trisubstituted (Z)-olefin, and a stereoselective cross-coupling of a vinyl dibromide to install the C14-C15 trisubstituted (E)-olefin.
