title: Synthesis of the apoptosis inducing agent apoptolidin. Assembly of the C(16)-C(28) fragment.
abstract: [reaction--see text] A stereoselective synthesis of the C(16)-C(28) fragment of the apoptosis inducing agent apoptolidin is described. Key steps include two propionate aldol reactions and a stereoselective Mukaiyama aldol addition of enolsilane 19 to beta-methoxy aldehyde 4.
