Starting from a known linear route and a proposed convergent route, we have successfully developed a new hybrid convergent route to MIV-150 that takes advantage of the robust chemistry for the preparation of a fluoroketal and the stereospecific Negishi coupling of an iodocyclopropane moiety to a benzene ring. Stereoselective β-and cis-iodination chemistry was developed for the preparation of an enantiomerically pure ...
