Popis: [formula: see text] In this, the first of two letters, we outline our overall strategy for the total synthesis of phorboxazoles A (1) and B (2), rare oxazole-containing macrolides possessing extraordinary antimitotic activity, and describe the assembly of a C(3-19) subtarget (-)-5 for the total synthesis of phorboxazole A. The synthesis of (-)-5 was achieved in 15 linear steps (12% overall yield), exploiting a modification of the Petasis-Ferrier rearrangement to construct the C(11-15) cis-tetrahydropyran. Dimethylaluminum chloride (Me2AlCl) proved to be the Lewis acid of choice for the Petasis-Ferrier rearrangement.
