title: Stereoselective synthesis of the C(1)-C(11) fragment of peloruside A.
abstract: A highly stereoselective synthesis of the C(1)-C(11) fragment 4 of peloruside A has been accomplished via a stereoselective double allylboration and an intramolecular epoxide opening to provide the functionally dense C(3)-C(11) segment 14. A glycolate aldol reaction was then employed to introduce the remaining stereocenters at C(2)-C(3). [reaction: see text]
