Key words

norhalichondrin B - Achmatowicz oxidation - Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi reaction - asymmetric crotylation - ionic hydrogenation - chromium

Significance

Norhalichondrin B is a marine polyether with potent cytotoxicity. Key to this synthetic approach are the Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi reactions and the tandem Achmatowicz oxidation-ionic hydrogenation which form the pyranopyran systems.

Comment

The Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi reactions were run in the presence of chiral ligand I where R was either methyl or naphthyl. The Achmatowicz oxidation-hydrogenation was highly diastereo­selective (dr > 20:1).
