title: Total synthesis of FR901483.
abstract: The architecturally sophisticated skeleton of the immunosuppressive alkaloid FR901483 was assembled via a process relying on the reaction of an in situ generated imine with a suitably disposed donor-acceptor cyclopropane. A short sequence of functional group transformations provided the natural product in an efficient manner.
