Dr. Williams et al., Synthetic studies toward Phorboxazole A. Stereoselective synthesis of the C-3-C-19 and C-20-C-32 subunits, TETRAHEDR L, 40(12), 1999, pp. 2287-2290
A stereocontrolled synthesis of two fragments comprising the macrocyclic co
re of Phorboxazole A is described. The C-3-C-19 bis-pyran segment is prepar
ed utilizing reiterative enantioselective allylations from homochiral allyl
stannanes followed by stereoselective cyclizations. The pentasubstituted te
trahydropyran of the C-20-C-32 fragment is prepared via an intramolecular s
tereoselective cationic cyclization of a methoxymethyl ether derivative. (C
