RESUMO
The first total synthesis of the E1 ubiquitin-activating enzyme inhibitor, himeic acid A, is reported. A McCombie reaction was used to form the core γ-pyrone via a 6π-electrocyclization. A dioxenone ring-opening/acyl ketene trapping reaction with a primary amide provided the unusual unsymmetrical imide functionality. Other key steps include the use of an Evans auxiliary alkylation (d.r. ≥ 95:5) to install the (S)-2-methyl succinic acid fragment and a cross-metathesis to install the unsaturated side-chain.
