Stereoselective addition of ( E )-1-lithio-2-tributylstannylethylene on a chiral cyclic di- t -butylsilyleneketal C 14 –C 17 aldehyde afforded the required Felkin–Anh adduct for the synthesis of the C 12 –C 17 fragment of bafilomycin A 1 , the configuration of which was assigned unambiguously. After appropriate coupling with the enantiopure C 1 –C 11 fragment, the C 12 –C 17 subunit obtained here can be used for the study of the 16-membered macrolide formation either by an acyl activation or an intramolecular Stille reaction. Intermolecular esterification of the 15-OH with an acyl activation of the carboxylic acid of the C 1 –C 11 fragment, in modified Yamaguchi's conditions, affords here an intermediate for examining an intramolecular Stille coupling. |
