Significance
Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors are of interest for the treatment of a wide range of disorders including cancer, inflammatory diseases, malaria, and motor neuron diseases. (R)-(+)-Trichostatin A, a natural product isolated from Streptomyces hygroscopicus, is a potent HDAC inhibitor. In this paper, two syntheses of racemic trichostatin A are described that feature a palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of a Zn enolate and a bromo alkene as the key step.
