title: Formal total synthesis of fostriecin.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Addition of magnesium anion 4 (M = MgBr, R(1) = TES) to ketone 6 (R(2) = PMB) at -78 degrees C in THF proceeded under chelation control to provide alcohol 7, which possesses the full set of the chiral centers of fostriecin. Subsequently, 7 was transformed successfully to the known key intermediate 2.
