Using 2-bromo-1-methylpyridimium iodide as carboxyl activating agent, 10 ansa-macrolactams were prepared conveniently from the corresponding seco-precursor w-aminoacids in the yields of 78-2%.
Oxo-1, 15-pentadecanlactam 7 was synthesized from cyclododecanone with a total yield of 36% in a seven-step reaction. The azide 5 to 12-nitro-1, 15-pentadecanlactam 6 is the key step featured by direct ring expansion.
Asymmetric total synthesis of emericellamide B（9.4%, 17 longest linear steps） is detailed in this report.

In this synthetic route, the highly methylated（2R,3R,4S,6S）-3-hydroxy-2,4,6-trimethyldodecanoic acid（HTMD） unit was effectively prepared through the asymmetric methylation, Wittig and Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons reaction. Moreover, pentafluorophenyl diphenylphophinate（FDPP） proved to be an effective condensation reagent for the macrolactamization between C14 and C18.展开更多
