title: Concise strategy to the core structure of the macrolide queenslandon.
abstract: The fully functionalized core structure of the macrolactone queenslandon was prepared using a novel strategy consisting of a glycolate aldol reaction and hydroboration of the derived enol ether 17 followed by Suzuki cross-coupling with an iodostyrene. After conversion of the cross-coupling product to the seco acid 22, Mitsunobu macrolactonization and protecting group manipulations led to the queenslandon model 5. [structure: see text]
