title: Total synthesis of phorboxazole a. 1. Preparation of four subunits.
abstract: [Structure: see text] Four subunits of the potent antitumor agent phorboxazole A were constructed; fragments C20-C32 and C9-C19 containing tetrahydropyrans A and B, respectively, were assembled using palladium-catalyzed intramolecular alkoxycarbonylation.
