Abstract

The first total synthesis of a cyclic depsipeptide possessing the 3-amino-6-hydroxy-2- piperidone (Ahp) unit was successfully achieved in a convergent manner by the oxidative construction of the Ahp unit at the later stage of the synthesis. This synthetic work provides data indicating that the structure of the target Ahp-depsipeptide, micropeptin T-20, should be re-examined.
