A concise and efficient synthesis of the tetracyclic CDEF ring system of lactonamycin (1) is described. The key step involved the Lewis acid mediated, intramolecular Friedel-Crafts acylation of carboxylic acid 6 to produce the tetracyclic CDEF core structure of target 1. The synthesis of 6 was carried out using a high-yielding Negishi coupling of benzyl bromide 7 with triflate 8, which was accessible in 11 steps and 31% overall yield on a multigram scale starting from trihydroxy acid 9.
