Popis: Herein, we describe a stereodivergent route to (±)-batzelladine D (2), (+)-batzelladine D (2), (−)-batzelladine D (2), and a series of stereochemical analogues and explore their antimicrobial activity for the first time. The concise synthetic approach enables access to the natural products in a sequence of 8–12 steps from readily available building blocks. Highlights of the synthetic strategy include gram-scale preparation of a late stage intermediate, pinpoint stereocontrol around the tricyclic skeleton, and a modular strategy that enables analogue generation. A key bicyclic β-lactam intermediate not only serves as the key controlling element for pyrrolidine stereochemistry but also serves as a preactivated coupling partner to install the ester side chain. The stereocontrolled synthesis allowed for the investigation of the antimicrobial activity of batzelladine D, demonstrating promising activity that is more potent for non-natural stereoisomers.
