Abstract

The stereoselective total synthesis of the nonenolide, (+)-stagonolide B is described. The key steps involve epoxide homologation, hydrolytic kinetic resolution and ring-closing metathesis.

The primary alcohol was protected as a TBS-ether and the secondary alcohol was converted into a tosylate. Exposure of the tosylate to 3 equiv of TBAF gave the desired epoxide.
