The platform C14鈥揅40, which can be used to prepare bistramide C and 39-oxobistramide K, was synthesized in 19 steps with an overall yield of 6.2%. Furthermore, the chemoselective reduction of the ketone at C-39 was performed giving an easy access to bistramides A, B, D, K, and L. Finally, the versatility of the synthesis of the C14鈥揅40 fragment can allow the preparation of a large variety of stereoisomers to produce bistramide analogues.
