Abstract:
A convergent, second generation formal synthesis of (+)-Leucascandrolide A (1) has been efficiently achieved by providing a flexible, enantiocontrolled strategy toward the bioactive macrolactone component. Advancements for stereocontrol in asymmetric allylation methodology are discussed. Efforts feature novel results for reductions using the Terashima hydride reagent. [structure: see text]
