Abstract
Synthesis of the eastern hemisphere (C1-C15) of palmerolide
A is described. A re-optimized Claisen-type condensation of vinylogous
acyl triflates provides efficient entry into the C1-C8 subunit,
setting up a convergent Horner-Wittig olefination to deliver
the eastern portion of palmerolide A.
Key words
vinylogous acyl triflate - fragmentation - total
synthesis - palmerolide - methodology

18 Cyclization of 5 predominated
using bases including Ba(OH)2 , DBU˙LiCl (Masamune-Roush
conditions), and KOt -Bu. A common feature
of these bases is that each is intermediate in basicity between
the initial β-keto phosphine oxide anion and the enolate
arising from undesired cyclization onto the enoate. Therefore, the
conjugate acid may play a role in promoting undesired cyclization (Scheme
[³ ]
).
