Abstract
The first asymmetric synthesis of mycolipenic acid and mycolipanolic acid by using an improved iterative procedure involving catalytic asymmetric conjugate addition of MeMgBr as the key step is described. Mycolipenic and mycolipanolic acid are obtained in 11 steps with perfect stereocontrol, and both acids are identical to their counterparts from natural sources.
