The enantioselective total synthesis of proansamitocin, a key biosynthetic intermediate of the highly potent antitumor agent ansamitocin P-3, is described which bears a diene-ene RCM as the key macrocyclization step. Feeding of proansamitocin to an AHBA block mutant Actinosynnema pretiosum (HGF073) yielded ansamitocin P-3 as well as dechloroansamitocin P-3, the latter also being formed upon fermentation in the presence of 3-amino-5-methoxybenzoic acid.
