title: Studies on the synthesis of myriaporones: stereoselective synthesis of the C5-C13 fragment starting from D-glucose via regioselective reductive opening of methoxybenzylidene acetal.
abstract: A stereoselective synthesis is described of the C5-C13 fragment (4) of myriaporone 4 (1) starting from D-glucose by a coupling of the C5-C9 aldehyde (5), prepared using a regioselective reductive ring-opening of methoxybenzylidene acetal, with the C10-C13 iodoolefin (6).
