title: Synthesis of the C9-C23 (C9'-C23') fragment of the dimeric natural product rhizopodin.
abstract: A stereoselective assembly of the C9-C23 (C9'-C23') fragment of rhizopodin, a 38-membered bis-lactone natural product, has been developed. A highly efficient approach to this fragment assembles >50% of the carbon skeleton and the stereochemical elements present in the natural product.
