Off to a good start: Use of a carefully designed building block coupled with several highly selective reactions has enabled the syntheses of the monomeric myrmicarins (see scheme) and the investigation of higher-order oligomer synthesis by enabling access to previously unobtainable stereochemical arrangements. These studies, in combination with quantum chemical calculations, question whether the higher-order structures can be obtained through acid-promoted biomimetic synthesis.
