The C13-C19 fragment of the cytotoxic marine products calyculins (1 or their antipodes) was stereoselectively prepared as the acyclic equivalent 2b [methyl (3R,4R,5S)-3,4-dibenzyloxy-5-methoxy-2,2-dimethyl-7-octenoate] from potassium (R)-2,3-O-isopropylideneglycerate (3) utilizing the stereoselective allylation of aldehyde 7 [(2S,3R)-2,3-dibenzyloxy-4,4-dimethyl-5-trityloxypentanal] in the presence of magnesium bromide.
