J Asian Nat Prod Res. 2010 Nov;12(11):940-9. doi: 10.1080/10286020.2010.510114.

Abstract

The concise total synthesis of largazole was accomplished. The key step included the use of the Nagao thiazolidinethione auxiliary for the diastereoselective acetate aldol reaction and it acts as an acylating agent for the peptide formation.
