title: Total synthesis of phoslactomycin A.
abstract: A convergent total synthesis of the PP2A-inhibitor phoslactomycin A was achieved using a CuTC-mediated coupling of an alkenyl iodide C1-C13 fragment with an C14-C21 alkenyl stannane in the presence of a protected phosphate. Key features for the assembly of the C1-C13 fragment were an asymmetric dihydroxylation, an Evans-Aldol reaction, and a well-balanced protective group strategy. An asymmetric 1,4-addition to cyclohexenone was the key step in the preparation of the C14-C21 fragment.
