J Org Chem. 2017 Sep 1;82(17):8808-8830. doi: 10.1021/acs.joc.7b01284. Epub 2017 Aug 16.

Abstract

A stereocontrolled synthesis of the left halves of halichondrins was reported. An intramolecular oxy-Michael reaction under basic conditions was used to construct the [6,6]-spiroketal in a stereocontrolled manner. With this approach, the left halves of halichondrins, homohalichondrins, and norhalichondrins were synthesized.
