title: Toward the synthesis of spirastrellolide B: a synthesis of the C1-C23 subunit.
abstract: A synthesis of the C1-C23 subunit of spirastrellolide B is described. The synthesis features two applications of a Kulinkovich-cyclopropanol ring-opening strategy for the coupling of esters with olefins to produce ketones.
