Abstract

Stereoselective synthesis of the C14-C26 moiety of ­amphidinolide H1 is described. The key features of the approach ­include the convergent fragment assembly with a highly diastereoselective aldol reaction to establish the C18 stereochemistry and ­using commercially available chiral pool.
