A total synthesis of the putative structure of nagelamide D from imidazole is described. A Stille cross-coupling is used to construct the bis imidazole skeleton, and the pyrrolecarboxamides are introduced via a double Mitsunobu reaction using a pyrrolehydantoin derivative. Discrepancies between the published spectroscopic data and that reported in the literature cast doubts either on the assigned structure or the reported data.
