Basiliskamide A is an antifungal polyketide natural product isolated by Andersen and co-workers from a Bacillus laterosporus isolate, PNG-276. A nine-step enantioselective synthesis of (-)-basiliskamide A is reported, starting from commercially available beta-hydroxy ester 7. The synthesis features a highly diastereoselective mismatched double asymmetric delta-stannylallylboration reaction of aldehyde 5 with the bifunctional allylborane reagent 4.
