[reaction: see text] A highly convergent synthesis of the angiogenesis inhibitor luminacin D has been achieved in 13 linear steps (19 steps total, 5.3% overall yield) utilizing a samarium(II) iodide-mediated mixed tandem aldol/Evans-Tishchenko reaction to construct the carbohydrate precursor. The modular synthetic design will allow derivatization at key positions necessary for biochemical mode of action studies.
