The stereoselective total synthesis of atpenins A4 (2) and B (3), harzianopyridone (4), and NBRI23477 B (5) have been developed using a convergent approach involving the coupling reaction of a common iodopyridine with an aldehyde corresponding to the appropriate side chain of the desired compound. Furthermore, the absolute configurations of atpenin B (3), harzianopyridone (4), and NBRI23477 B (5) have been unambiguously determined.
