TBS-protected iodo alkohols 6 were prepared via Frater alkylation and
applied in the synthesis of optically active macrolides 5 and 10. By r
ing enlargement of cyclodecanone (7) the superposition molecule 5 of t
wo macrocyclic odorants was synthesized and a conformationally fixed t
ricyclic macrolide 11 constructed.
