A simple and efficient synthesis of (+)-benzoylpedamide, the right half of pederin, was achieved in 16 steps with a 35% overall yield from (S)-malic acid. The key steps include the SmI2-mediated intramolecular Reformatsky reaction, stereoselective allylation, the Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation, and amidation. The total synthesis of pederin was accomplished via coupling of the left and right halves.

A mild one-pot method for the synthesis of acyclic N-(1-methoxyalkyl)amides starting from carboxylic acid and methyl imidates has been developed and applied to the first total synthesis of (+)-pederine (1), a potent insect poison.Furthermore, the stereocontrolled total synthesis of 1 was also achieved by employing acid catalyzed double alkoxy-exchange reaction of N-(1-methoxyalkyl)amide group as key step.
