We report herein the first total synthesis of the alkaloid manzacidin D, in 11 steps and 16% overall yield from commercially available glycine tert-butyl ester hydrochloride. Our synthesis demonstrates for the first time in a total synthesis the utility of two different methodologies. A highly diastereoselective iodocyclization of an olefinic isothiourea is used to induce stereocontrol at the quaternary centre, and to form the heterocyclic core. Conversion of a thiourea to the requisite formamidine is achieved in good yield using our modified procedure. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

We have devised a novel strategy for the total synthesis of the manzacidins. Our approach utilizes an isothiourea iodocyclization strategy to directly form the heterocyclic core, and in the process induce stereoselectivity at the quaternary center. We have found that cyclization can be achieved using an isothiourea as the nucleophilic partner. Cyclization proceeds smoothly using IBr at low temperature
