A chemoselective conversion of bastadin-4 to the important Ca2+ channel modulator bastadin-5 (1a) has been achieved using cationic hydrogenation (Et3SiH, TFA, 60%). Specifically deuterated bastadin-5 (1b, >95 at. %) was prepared following this method and the simplified 1H NMR H-5/H2-6 spin system of 1b exploited to study temperature-dependent macrocyclic ring dynamics.
