The first enantioselective total synthesis and structural reassignment of (−)-thelepamide, a cytotoxic tetraketide–amino acid from the marine worm Thelepus crispus, is reported. A convergent approach provides access to all thelepamide diastereomers in six steps from four simple building blocks. Key features of the synthesis include the application of Melchiorre’s organocatalytic thia-Michael reaction and a sonication-assisted assembly of an unprecedented N,O-acetal–hemiacetal moiety. The corrected structure was confirmed by NMR–DFT analysis.
