Antibiotic agents of the TMC-151 family were originally isolated from the fungus Gliocladium catenulatum Gilman & Abbott TC 1280 by a research group at the pharmaceutical company Tanabe Seiyaku in 1999 as novel polyketides containing bd-mannoside and d-mannitol groups.[1] A related TMC-171 family of antibiotics and TMC-154 were also isolated.[2] Of these compounds, TMC-151C (1) shows the most significant cytotoxicity against a wide range of tumor cell lines, including HCT-116, B16, and HeLa cells. TMC-151C displays several interesting structural features. Notably, 1) the polyketide moiety contains three contiguous anti homoallylic alcohol motifs in the C1–C13 segment and three methyl-substituted asymmetric carbon centers in the C14–C20 segment, and 2) d-mannose is attached to the C13 hydroxy group as bd-mannoside, which is still problematic in terms of chemical synthesis (Scheme 1). This combination of significant biological activity and structural complexity encouraged us to attempt the total synthesis of (+)-TMC-151C (1).We previously developed a highly stereoselective vinylogous Mukaiyama aldol reaction (VMAR) that enabled remarkable remote asymmetric induction by using the vinylketene silyl N, O-acetals 2 and 3 (Scheme 1).[3] From a synthetic point of view, this method can directly afford the anti-d-hydroxy-a, g-dimethyl a, b-unsaturated carbonyl unit which is present in many naturally occurring compounds. Indeed, the VMAR has been utilized successfully in natural product syntheses by many research groups,[4] including our own.[5] Given the presence of three anti homoallylic alcohol motifs (C2–C5, C6–C9, and C10–C13 units) in (+)-1, we reasoned that the total synthesis of 1 would provide a representative example of the VMAR. Herein, we report the first total synthesis of (+)-TMC-151C (1). We initially attempted a straightforward linear approach consisting of three iterative VMARs (Scheme 2). The carbohydrate units would then be combined at a later stage in the synthesis. According to the established protocol, the first VMAR of the known chiral aldehyde 4 [6] with the vinylketene silyl N, O-acetal 3 in the presence of TiCl4 afforded the
