title: Convergent total syntheses of fluvibactin and vibriobactin using molybdenum(VI) oxide-catalyzed dehydrative cyclization as a key step.
abstract: Efficient total syntheses of fluvibactin and vibriobactin have been achieved via molybdenum(VI) oxide-catalyzed dehydrative cyclization, Sb(OEt)(3)-catalyzed ester-amide transformation, and WSCI and HOAt-promoted dehydrative amide formation.
