We report herein an efficient, stereocontrolled, and chromatography-free synthesis of the novel broad spectrum antibiotic GDC-5338. The route features the construction of a functionalized tripeptide backbone, a high-yielding macrocyclization via a Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura reaction, and the late-stage elaboration of key amide bonds with minimal stereochemical erosion. Through extensive reaction development and analytical understanding, these key advancements allowed the preparation of GDC-5338 in 17 steps, 15% overall yield, >99 A % HPLC, and >99:1 dr.
