Fighting back : A concise route to the pterocarpene derivative erypoegin H, a natural product endowed with considerable activity against a range of methicillin‐resistant Staphyllococcus aureus strains and vancomycin‐resistant enterococci, has been developed. The key step in the synthesis is a PtCl 2 ‐catalyzed carboalkoxylation reaction of an alkyne (see retrosynthesis; Piv=pivaloyl).
