Abstract
The first synthesis of bacilosarcin C, a member of amicoumacin family of natural product isolated from the culture broth of a marine bacterium, has been achieved in 2 steps by diastereoselective reductive amination of amicoumacin C with 2,3-butanedione followed by hydrolysis of the resulting N-alkylated lactone intermediate. Ammonolysis of the intermediate, on the other hand, led to an improved synthesis of bacilosarcin B, an amide congener of bacilosarcin C.
