title: Total synthesis of (+)-crocacin D.
abstract: [structure: see text] The total synthesis of (+)-crocacin D is described. The convergent asymmetric synthesis relies on the use of a Stille cross-coupling between an (E)-vinyl stannane with an (E)-vinyl iodide to establish the (E,E)-dienamide moiety followed by a mild and efficient copper-catalyzed coupling between (+)-crocacin C and a (Z)-vinyl iodide to establish the challenging (Z)-enamide function.
