In this work, we propose a total synthesis route for the antifungal agent Pseuboyenes D, a compound derived from Pseudallescheria boydii CS-793. Pseuboyenes D exhibits antifungal activity comparable to Amphotericin B while offering the advantage of a simpler structure, making it a promising candidate for clinical applications. The system became the focus of this analysis due to its regioselectivity, and after exploration, a [2+2] photocycloaddition and ring expansion strategy was adopted to construct the key bridged ring system. The route employs readily available substrates and mild reaction conditions, making it scalable and suitable for large-scale production. Computational analysis of the regioselectivity of the photocycloaddition revealed that the bridged adduct was thermodynamically favored over the fused system. The synthetic route was further diversified by incorporating functional group modifications using TMS derivatives, enhancing the potential for pharmacological applications. Overall, this work establishes an efficient and scalable synthetic pathway for Pseuboyenes D, paving the way for future applications in antifungal drug development.
