Routiennocin is a member of a family of polycyclic pyrrole ether antibiotics that simultaneously uncouple oxidative phosphorylation and inhibit ATPase as a result of selective complexation of divalent metal ions. We describe a concise synthesis of routiennocin with the longest linear sequence of 8 steps. Our synthesis features a unique bi-directional strategy, which entails a sequential ring-opening/cross

antibiotic routiennocin, and a diastereomeric variant, to probe the biological consequences of altering the naturally configured stereochemistry. Testing these compounds against a broad panel of bacteria and mammalian cells revealed independence of absolute stereochemistry in all tested cells.
