Coping with tandem reactions: The total synthesis of marine fungal metabolite, trichodermamide B, is accomplished using a tandem nitrosation/oxaza-Cope rearrangement as the key step to establish the characteristic heterocyclic ring system of the natural product. Preparation of the putative biosynthetic precursor of aspergillazine A provides further insight into the possible biosynthetic pathway to aspergillazines.
