An efficient chemoenzymatic asymmetric synthesis of pyranone containing natural product (-)-rasfonin is presented here. Enantioselective enzymatic desymmetrization (EED) and a unique Gluconobacter oxydans mediated oxidative kinetic resolution (OKR) have been successfully employed to install three stereocenters (C-6', C-7, and C-9) of the target molecule. Stereoselective Achmatowicz reaction of a properly decorated furyl nucleus led to the core pyranone structure of rasfonin. At the late stage of the synthesis Negishi coupling has been used to complete the synthesis. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
