title: Synthesis of the C1-C9 fragment of callipeltoside-A.
abstract: [reaction: see text] The C1-C9 fragment of callipeltoside (17) was prepared in 12 steps and 7.2% overall yield from bicyclic lactone (+)-4. Key steps include a stereoselective epoxidation and further regiocontrolled nucleophilic opening of the oxirane ring to install two vicinal stereocenters (C5 and C6), and the use of bis(trimethylsilyl) peroxide and a catalytic amount of Sn(IV) chloride for the chemoselective Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of unsaturated cyclopentanone 15.
