The first total synthesis of myxobacteria metabolite icumazole A (1) is reported. Key steps in the route include an organocatalyzed asymmetric self-aldol reaction followed by an acetate aldol reaction to form the stereotriad present in the oxazole moiety, an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction to form the isochromanone, and an acetylide addition and selective methylation. The final steps involved a high-yielding modified Cadiot-Chodkiewicz coupling and stereoselective reduction to secure the Z,Z-diene and afford 1.
