The first total synthesis of ratjadone was achieved using a highly convergent approach joining three subunits together with a Wittig olefination and a selective Heck reaction as the pivotal steps. Besides establishing a robust and reliable route for the synthesis of this orphan ligand, the configuration of unknown stereocenters could also be determined. This synthesis not only provides an additional access to a biologically important compound but also enables the synthesis of structural analogues for biological target identification.
