title: Studies on the synthesis of tedanolide: synthesis of the C(5)-C(21) segment via a highly stereoselective fragment assembly aldol reaction of a chiral beta,gamma-unsaturated methyl ketone.
abstract: [formula: see text] A highly diastereoselective synthesis of 3, corresponding to the C(5)-C(21) segment of tedanolide, has been accomplished by a route utilizing the aldol reaction of aldehyde 4 and the beta,gamma-unsaturated methyl ketone 5.
