The enantioselective total synthesis of the N-acetylcysteamine thioester of seco-proansamitocin, a key biosynthetic intermediate of the highly potent antitumor agent ansamitocin, is described, which twice utilizes the Nagao acetate aldol reaction, as well as an indium-mediated alkynylation of a benzyl bromide followed by carboalumination. The key step is a Heck reaction between two terminal alkenes for merging the two major fragments.
