A 27 step total synthesis of the tuberculostatic macrocyclic peptide antibiotic capreomycin IBhas been accomplished. The synthesis features the use of an enolate-aldimine condensation between achiral glycine aluminum enolate and the benzyl imine of 3-tert-butyldimethylsiloxy-propanal as a means ofpreparing the cyclic guanidine amino acid (2S,3R)-capreomycidine. Additionally, a Hofmann rearrangementwas exacted on a late-stage pentapeptide in order to transform an asparagine residue into a diaminopropanoic acid residue.
