A new design for the synthesis of the 25-membered tris-oxazole macrolide core, 3, in the "ulapualide family" of marine natural products e.g. 1 isolated from nudibranchs and sponges, based on a macrolactamisation strategy, leading to 4, followed by oxazoline and oxazole ring formation using the substituted monooxazoles 5 and 6 as key precursor, is described.
