Abstract

Four stereoisomers of the C21-C40 fragment are synthesized in a single exercise with the aid of fluorous tagging to encode configurations at C37 and C33. After demixing and detagging, the isomers were found to have substantially identical ¹H NMR spectra. However, there were some small but reliable differences in their ¹³C NMR spectra.
