	abstract = {<p>Penarolide sulfate A(1), with three contiguous stereogenic centers on a macrocyclic skeleton, affords promise as an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor. Herein, we describe the first asymmetric total synthesis of this natural product. A stereoselective strategy for rapid assembly of the complete framework of the 30-membered macrocyclic core is delineated herein. Sequential amidation and intramolecular Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions were pivotal to the success of our efforts. ((C) Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH \&amp; Co.
