title: A short synthetic pathway to a fully-functionalized southern hemisphere of the antitumor macrolide bryostatin 1.
abstract: [reaction--see text] An 18-step asymmetric synthesis of the bryostatin 1 "southern hemisphere" fragment (1) has been developed. Key steps include an aldol reaction between 6 and 7 and a dehydration to establish the (E)-exocyclic alkene in 2 and a stereoselective Luche reduction and protection with TESOTf to access 1.
