Abstract
A concise and unified
strategy for the synthesis of C1–C18
macrolactone fragments of FD-891 and FD-892 as well as their analogues
is reported. The strategy includes a stereoselective vinylogous Mukaiyama
aldol reaction (VMAR) using chiral silyl ketene <i>N,O</i>-acetal to construct C6–C7 stereocenters, an <i>E</i>-selective ring closing metathesis to construct a C12–C13
olefin, and stereodivergent construction of a C8–C9 epoxide
