Significance

(+)-Neopeltolide has reasonable activity against several cancer cell lines. The key step in the synthesis is the formal [4+2] allylsilane annulation (E+F) to yield the trisubstituted tetra­hydropyran ring G. The synthesis depicted corrects the stereochemistry assigned to the natural product.
