Synthesis and stereochemical elucidation of a 14-membered ring phosphonate.
[structure: see text]. We report the synthesis and stereochemical elucidation of a 14-membered ring phosphonate. The key step in the synthesis of the macrolide phosphonate was the cyclization of the acyclic precursor using the Mitsunobu reaction, a mild reaction for the preparation of mixed phosphonates.
