[GRAPHICS]Reported herein is the first synthetic approach to tonkinecin (1) which uses a palladium catalyzed cross-coupling reaction between the tetrahydrofuran unit (4) and the butenolide (3) as the key step for constructing the backbone of 1, The stereogenic centers at C-5, C-21, C-22, and C-36 were derived from D-xylose, D-glucose, and L-lactate, respectively, whereas those at C-17, and C-18 were generated using Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation.
