The stereochemically complex natural product RK-397 (1, Scheme 1) was isolated in 1993 from a strain of soil bacteria and was shown to possess antifungal, antitumor, and antibacterial activities.[1] RK-397 is an oxopolyene macrolide [2] whose structure [3] corresponds to that of C14-demethyl mycoticin A,[4] in which the stereocenters at C19 and C21 have the opposite configuration.[5] Members of this class of natural products have been popular targets for synthesis,[6] and Burova and McDonald,[7] as well as Denmark and Fujimori [8] have recently reported syntheses of RK-397. Herein, we describe our recently completed route to this molecule.This molecule presents several synthetic challenges, including the efficient construction of the stereochemically complex polyol chain, the introduction of the sensitive polyene moiety, and the formation of the macrocycle. In analogy to previous oxopolyene macrolide syntheses, we planned to form the macrocycle through a macrolactonization.[9] The polyol was disconnected into two fragments of roughly equal complexity, namely methyl ketone 2 (C22–C33) and aldehyde 3 (C10–C21, Scheme1). We envisioned an asymmetric catalysis approach with relay of stereochemistry across the alkene for the synthesis of 2, a two-directional
