Published: September 2008

Total syntheses of the natural immunosuppressant myriocin (1) and the equipotent unnatural analogue 2-epi-myriocin (in protected form) have been achieved through a common strategy. The key transformations are the efficient synthesis of a quaternary (E)-vinylglycine by asymmetric deconjugative alkylation of a dehydroamino acid and an unusually highly diastereoselective dihydroxylation of the vinylglycine alkene.
