Abstract

The C29-C44 portion of altohyrtins (spongistatins) has been prepared from 1,5-pentanediol and D-glucose in a stereoselective manner. The convergent synthesis relied on a coupling reaction of the C29-C37 vinyl bromide and the C38-C44 Weinreb amide, diastereoselective reduction of the C38 ketone, and stereoselective formation of the C33-C37 (E ring) acetal.
