The first total synthesis of somocystinamide A, a disulfide dimer with extremely labile enamide functional groups, was accomplished in a concise and stereospecific manner. Somocystinamide A is reported to possess exceptionally potent antiangiogenic and tumoricidal activities. The current work should enable further pharmacological investigation of this important natural product.
