An enantioselective total synthesis of the cytotoxic natural product (+)-largazole (1) is described. It is a potent histone deacetylase inhibitor. Our synthesis is convergent and involves the assembly of thiazole 3-derived carboxylicacid with amino ester 4 followed by cycloamidation of the corresponding aminoacid. The synthesis features an efficient cross-metathesis, an enzymatic kinetic resolution
