title: A concise total synthesis of largazole, solution structure, and some preliminary structure activity relationships.
abstract: A total synthesis of largazole that proceeds in 8 steps from commercial materials is reported, along with some structure-activity relationships. A combination of NMR studies and molecular modeling have also provided a preliminary picture of the conformation of largazole.
