Abstract

Symplocin A, a linear peptide possessing N-terminal N,N-dimethylisoleucine, statine, and valic acid residues, has been synthesized for the first time employing our previously established 'one-pot intramolecular tandem protocol'. Moreover, the stereochemistry of natural symplocin A was unambiguously revised through the confirmation by 1D NMR, 2D NMR, and HPLC comparisons with authentic natural product.
