Significance

A solid-phase total synthesis of spiruchostatin A (9) was described. Thus, the linear peptide 7 was prepared by the standard Fmoc method using a 2-chlorotrityl resin support. The polymer support was cleaved by treatment of 7 (W = polymer support) with hexafluoroisopropyl alcohol to give the linear peptide 8 (W = OH). The macrolactonization of 8 with Shina’s method followed by disulfide bond formation afforded spiruchostatin A in 89% yield.
