Abstract
The divergolides are a family of structurally unprecedented ansa macrocycles. We describe a synthetic strategy toward divergolides C and D that hinges on the biomimetic diversification of a common intermediate. An advanced precursor that incorporates all the carbon atoms of divergolide C and D is presented, and atropisomerism in a sterically crowded acyl naphthalene is studied.
