Abstract
A structural revision of clavilactone D, a potent inhibitor of protein tyrosine kinases, was achieved by total syntheses of two newly proposed structures. The syntheses relied on ring-opening/ring-closing metathesis, which transformed a cyclobutenecarboxylate into a γ-butenolide. The syntheses confirmed that the correct structure of clavilactone D has an amino group at C-3 instead of a hydroxy group at C-2 in the originally proposed structure.
