Abstract

A synthesis of the C1-C15 fragment of dolabelide C is reported. The key step is a diastereoselective Mukaiyama aldol ­reaction to form the C6-C7 bond, followed by reduction and ­deoxygenation of the carbonyl group at C5. The trisubstituted vinyl iodide is introduced via the corresponding vinyl boronate by cross metathesis.
