Abstract

A simple, practical, and biomimetic approach to access antibiotic natural product hunanamycin A starting from readily available inexpensive material Riboflavin is disclosed here. The present synthesis consists of three operationally simple, protecting group free steps and it is far superior when compared with the previous route. Using this route one can make multi-gram quantities of the natural product which will help in further biological assays, in particular exploring the potential of treating food infections.
