Abstract
An efficient total synthesis of (+)-bongkrekic acid,
a potent apoptosis inhibitor, has been accomplished by employing
a convergent strategy based on the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling
of three fully functionalized segments.
Key words
apoptosis - conjugated diene - Suzuki-Miyaura
coupling - palladium - bongkrekic acid

It has been clarified that the C1-MOM
ester can be hydrolyzed under acidic conditions without any isomerization
of the 2,4-diene moiety in our laboratories.

Since the optical rotation of the
trimethyl ester derived from our synthetic BA was identical to that
of the trimethyl ester derived from the natural BA, it was revealed
that the optical rotation reported by Berends¹b was
incorrect.

Data for the trimethyl ester derived
from the natural BA.
