β¦ Synopsis
The formation of the macro ring of rifamycin S (4) has been accomplished by generating the lactam linkage through cyclization of a suitably protected and activated amino acid (4). 1 Previous papers from these laboratories on the synthesis of rifamycin S (1) have dealt with 2 in 80% yield occurs under base under a complication an approach for the stereocontrolled synthesis of the C(19) to Cc271 segment of the ansa bridge and a method for stereospecific chain extension to form the 22,4g-dienoyl unit corresponding to C(15) to 3 C( 19). Another of the problems to be surmounted by any synthetic attempt, the formation of the macrocyclic unit of 1, has recently been studied and solved. These results which represent another 4 major simplification of the synthetic task are described herein.

Acid treatment of the hydroperoxide 5 yielded the enol ether 9. Hydrogenation of 9 gave the dihydro derivative, the structure of which was established by comparisonwith the substance synthesized by a different route. White, Martinelli, and Lancini have succeeded in the isolation of rifamycin W (l\_)
