Abstract
The total synthesis of capuramycin (1), which is a promising anti-tubercular antibiotics, has been accomplished using Ferrier-type I reaction as a key step. This total synthesis is an alternative approach to the synthesis of capuramycin and its analogues. The 3′-O-demethyl analogue (2), which exhibits an equivalent antibacterial activity as capuramycin (1) against Mycobacterium smegmatis and Mycobacterium avium, is suggested to have potential as a lead structure of capuramycin analogues because 2 is more accessible from a synthetic view point.
