title: Formal [4+2]-annulation of chiral crotylsilanes: synthesis of the C19-C28 fragment of phorboxazoles.
abstract: A stereoselective synthesis of the C19-C28 fragment of phoborxazole A and B is described. The key step is an enantioselective [4 + 2]-annulation of a crotylsilane 10 with a propargylic aldehyde 11 affording a functionalized dihydropyran 12. A solvent-dependent stereoselective epoxidation of dihydropyrans is also documented.
