title: Stereoselective synthesis of the western hemisphere of salinomycin.
abstract: [structure: see text]. A convergent and module-based strategy for the asymmetric synthesis of the western hemisphere (C1-C17 fragment) of salinomycin has been devised. This new synthetic approach relies on highly stereoselective C-glycosidation and aldol processes.
