The novel antifungal butenolide fugomycin (S)-1 was synthesized starting from the enantiomerically pure building block (S)-2. Its geminal dibromo substitution pattern permits gradual carbon-carbon bond formations in a stereoselective manner. The comparison of the CD spectra of natural and synthetic material permits the assignment of the absolute configuration to fugomycin.
