Abstract

A facile synthesis of sulfobacin A has been developed starting from (R)- cyclohexylideneglyceraldehyde (11). The key steps in the synthesis are the highly diastereocontrolled allylation of 11 and syn-selective reduction of a ketone derived from 11. The other attractive features are the operational simplicity and the use of inexpensive compounds/reagents.
