title: Synthesis of the C12-C19 fragment of (+)-peloruside A through a diastereomer-discriminating RCM reaction.
abstract: [reaction: see text]. A short and efficient asymmetric synthesis of the C12-C19 fragment of the cytotoxic macrolide (+)-peloruside A has been achieved via a highly diastereomer-discriminating RCM of alpha-branched but-3-enoate ester of a methallylic alcohol derived from hydrolytically resolved (S)-(-)-propylene oxide.
