Ac ombination of genomic and metabolomic approaches recently resulted in the identification of an onribosomal tetrapeptide tambromycin, which possesses promising antiproliferative activity and several unusual structural features,including adensely substituted indole,amethyloxazoline ring, and an unusual pyrrolidine-containing amino acid called tambroline.Inthis work, we identify aconcise synthetic route to access tambromycin, which relies on the strategic use of biocatalytic and chemocatalytic CÀHf unctionalization methods to prepare two key precursors to the natural product in an efficient and scalable manner.T he success of our study highlights the benefits of applying the principles of biocatalytic retrosynthesis as well as C À Hf unctionalization logic to the synthesis of complex molecular scaffolds.
