ABSTRACT

The biomimetic total synthesis of LL-Z1640-2 (3) is reported without the use of phenol protection. The aromatic unit was constructed via the transannular aromatization of macrocyclic triketo-ester 2, which in turn was synthesized by macrolactonization using an intramolecular trapping of a triketo-ketene derived from dioxinone 1.
