Abstract

A stereoselective total synthesis of phomolides G and H, a polyketide natural products is described. The synthesis involves organocatalytic enantioselective asymmetric epoxidation, C1-Wittig olefination, and ring-closing metathesis as key steps. The use of organocatalytic MacMillan asymmetric epoxidation for the construction of two chiral centers of phomolides G and H makes this approach more attractive.
