Diastereoselective vinyl addition to an amide carbonyl group and amide enolate induced aza-Claisen rearrangement are the key steps in the first asymmetric total synthesis of fluvirucinine A(1) (1), the aglycon of fluvirucin A(1). Fluvirucins are a class of macrolactam antibiotics produced by actinomycete strains that show promising biological properties.
