Abstract
The first total synthesis of the antitumor antibiotic (+)-hitachimycin (a.k.a. stubomycin) (1) has been achieved in 22 steps and 1.1% overall yield. The cornerstone of the synthetic strategy was a highly stereoselective three-component coupling of (-)-5-methoxycyclopentenone (4) with a zincate derived from vinyl iodide 3a and aldehyde (-)-51.
