title: A strategy for exploiting the pseudosymmetry of the C1-C13 stretch of discodermolide.
abstract: [reaction: see text] The pseudo-C(2)() symmetry of the C1 to C13 stretch of the discodermolide structure offers a potential strategic advantage for synthetic design. Two approaches based on this recognition were devised, and one was shown to be effective in a model series.
