A scaleable synthesis of the potent histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor FK228 is described. A reliable strategy for preparing the key,beta-hydroxy mercapto heptenoic acid partner was accomplished in nine steps and 13% overall yield. A Noyori asymmetric hydrogen-transfer reaction established the hydroxyl stereochemistry in >99:1 er via the reduction of a propargylic ketone.
