title: Synthesis of the eastern portion of ajudazol a based on Stille coupling and double acetylene carbocupration.
abstract: [structure: see text] A strategy for the synthesis of ajudazol A, an unusual, pharmacologically active metabolite from myxobacteria, based on the Stille cross-coupling of a 2-stannyl-oxazole with a vinyl iodide unit is described; the vinyl halide unit containing a (Z,Z)-diene was prepared in one pot by the double acetylene carbocupration of a functionalized alkyl cuprate followed by trapping with 2,3-dibromopropene.
