Total synthesis of stagonolide B

Asymmetric total synthesis of nonenolide stagonolide-B has been presented in this Letter. The main highlight of our synthetic strategy is the application of hydroxynitrile lyase (ParsHNL) mediated asymmetric synthesis of cyanohydrin, Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation, cross metathesis (CM) reaction, stereoselective Keck allylation reaction and Yamaguchi macrolactonization at a late stage enables us to achieve the synthesis of the target molecule in an efficient way.
