title: Studies on the synthesis of tedanolide. 2. Stereoselective synthesis of a protected C(1)-C(12) fragment.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Highly diastereoselective syntheses of diketo esters 6a and 6b are described. These intermediates undergo efficient aldol reactions with protected C(13)-C(21) aldehydes 3 and 23, thereby providing advanced C(1)-C(21) tedanolide seco ester precursors 9a and 9b.
