Abstract

A stereoselective synthesis of the C1-C18 region of marine natural product palmerolide A from chiral pool tartaric acid is presented. The key synthetic sequence includes the elaboration of a γ-oxo-amide derived from tartaric acid and alkene formation involving Boord type fragmentation.

Key words

Palmerolide A - marine natural product - stereoselective synthesis - tartaric acid
