The synthesis of taurospongin A has been achieved using, as a key step, a pi-allyltricarbonyliron lactone complex to control a highly stereoselective addition of a methyl group to a carbonyl unit located in the side chain of the complex.

Two new routes to the C(1-10) carboxylic acid core of taurospongin A are presented. In the first route, overall asymmetric hydration of a C(2)-C(3) alkene is achieved by Sharpless AD and selective deoxygenation at C(2); in the second route, the C(3) stereogenic center is set by Tietze asymmetric allylation. A short synthesis of the C(1'-25') fatty acid combines with the product from the first route to complete the total synthesis of taurospongin A.

Catalytic asymmetric vinylogous Mukaiyama reactions on ketones, leading to the formation of alpha,beta-unsaturated lactones with tertiary alcohols, have been described (11 examples, up to 93% ee). This methodology has been applied in a formal enantioselective synthesis of taurospongin A (12 steps, 6% overall yield).

The total synthesis of taurospongin A by two new approaches has been achieved where pi-allyltricarbonyliron lactone complexes have been used to control highly stereoselective additions of the nucleophiles to a carbonyl unit located in the side chain of these complexes.

An enantioselective formal synthesis of taurospongin A has been achieved. The key steps involve chelation-controlled reductions of β-ketosulfoxide and β-hydroxy ketone intermediates and Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation to construct the tertiary alcohol stereoselectively.
