title: Enantioselective preparation of the C1-C11 fragment of apoptolidin.
abstract: [reaction: see text] A novel approach toward the synthesis of the triene portion of the biologically active polyketide apoptolidin is described. The use of an iterative thionyl chloride rearrangement/oxidation sequence to construct trisubstituted olefins is explored.
