Abstract

Abstract The first synthesis of the marine fungus derived natural product alternaramide is described using solution phase coupling protocols and via a macrolactonization and macrolactamization route. The structure of alternaramide was confirmed and was supported by single crystal X-ray analysis which exhibited three similar molecules in the asymmetric unit, each with transannular hydrogen bonds.
