Abstract

Microascones B is a compound that can be a candidate for antibacterial material and is discovered and obtained from marine-derived fungus with complex 12- or 13- membered ring structures. Since no one has provided the forward synthesis and retrosynthesis pathway, we have introduced a possible retro-synthesis pathway in this work. The retrosynthesis of this complicated compound can be done in several steps into starting materials. Some of the core retrosynthesis strategies contain the analysis of di-oxygenation patterns to break bonds retro-synthetically by applying aldol reactions and Grignard as well as anion addition. Moreover, the Diels-Alder reaction is also one of the core reactions to break those multiple rings in this retrosynthesis pathway
