Abstract

A highly E-selective ring-closing metathesis is the key to building the macrocyclic salicylate core of (+)-salicylihalamide A (1). The synthesis results in a reassignment of the absolute configuration of natural (-)-salicylihalamide A (2), a structurally unprecedented antitumor metabolite with a potentially novel mode of action.
