Episode Synopsis "Total Synthesis of Maximiscin"

In this episode we discuss the total synthesis of (–)-maximiscin reported by the Baran lab. The route takes advantage of a convergent fragment coupling strategy with a late-stage formation of the central pyridone ring.  DOI: https://doi.org/10.1021/jacs.0c03202
