A convergent pathway is described for the synthesis of (S)-aplyolide A (1) using ethyl (S)-lactate as chiral source. Key steps of the synthesis are two couplings between copper(I) alkynides and propargylic halides for the formation of skipped diyne systems and were performed with an improved procedure based on the use of cesium carbonate as base for alkynide preparation.
