Part I. In order to probe the applicability of arene-manganese complexes to the synthesis of ristocetin A, the synthesis of a protected ristomycinic acid was studied. The aryl ether bond was made under very mild conditions (0$\sp\circ$C, 1 h) and racemization of the arylglycine chiral center of the G-ring unit was not observed during phenoxide ion generation using sodium hydride. The glycine side chain was built using the Schollkopf bislactim anion. Racemization of the chiral center (G-ring unit) by this anion did not occur. However, the yield and diastereoselectivity of this reaction was low (8 $\sim$ 25%, 30 $\sim$ 60% d.e.). It was found that the use of an "aged" lithiated anion improves the yield, but this was also dependent on the method used for rearomatization of the dienyl manganese complexes. Dealkylation is a major reaction pathway with almost all oxidizing agents. With NBS in acetonitrile, the ratio of rearomatization:dealkylation was $\sim$9:1. Demetallation of the arene-manganese complex during the bislactim addition reaction was $\sim$10% (NMR). Following this analysis, yields of the bislactim addition/aromatization sequence were improved to 50%. The CFG ring moiety of ristocetin A was made using two different pathways and two different peptide cyclocoupling methods. From both pathways, two atropisomers were obtained. Cyclic dimer was not found in the reaction mixture and the structure of the two isomers were deduced from NMR NOESY experiments. None of the isomers exactly match to the structure of the CFG ring moiety of ristocetin A, but isomer 1.3.22a (minor product) is closely related to the desired conformation except for the orientation of the amide bond between C- and F-ring units. The yield of cyclization was better with the pathway A (19 and 22% for 1.3.22a and 1.3.22b, respectively) which forms the amide bond between the C- and F-ring units, and coupling by 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride was better than by using act
