Abstract

[reaction: see text] Enantioselective total syntheses of belactosin A, belactosin C, and its homoanalogue have been accomplished in high overall yields (32% for belactosin A from the amino acid 10, and 35 and 36% for belactosin C and its homoanalogue, respectively). This concise approach comprises a novel sequential acylation/beta-lactonization reaction and allows a facile alteration of the substituents, thus providing a flexible route to a new family of highly active belactosin-based Proteasome inhibitors.
