GRAPHICS
A stereoselective synthesis of the C-28-C-46 fragment (3) of phorboxazole A
is described. Key advances include an enantioselective allylation to estab
lish the stereochemistry of the tetrahydropyran unit and a useful Sml(2)-me
diated modification of the Barbier reaction of iodomethyloxazole 15 with al
dehyde 14.
