- elansolids B1 (2) and B2 (3) along with A3 (4) bearing the unusual p-quinone methide unit were isolated from the fermentation broth. All elansolids belong to the group of trans-polyketides type I [3][4][5][6]. For the first generation total synthesis of elansolid B1 (2) we utilized an endo-selective
