title: Coupling of alkenes and alkynes: synthesis of the C1-C11 And C18-C28 fragments of miyakolide.
abstract: A transition metal-mediated, atom-economical approach toward the crucial A and D rings of miyakolide is described. A Pd-catalyzed alkyne-alkyne coupling/6- endo- dig cyclization is employed to assemble the A ring fragment. The key D ring pyran is constructed utilizing an Ru-catalyzed alkene-alkyne coupling followed by a Pd-catalyzed allylic alkylation to establish the all-cis stereochemistry.
