title: Toward a total synthesis of peloruside A: enantioselective preparation of the C8-C19 region.
abstract: An efficient synthetic sequence toward the C8-C19 region of peloruside A has been developed. The route is highlighted by a selective electrophilic cyclization reaction, a single-step epoxide ring-opening/methylation sequence, and a stereoselective Mukaiyama aldol reaction.
