The synthesis of a potential key intermediate for the synthesis of the 4,19-diol derivative of (-)-mycothiazole using convergent strategies is described in this paper. Several approaches have been tested, including cross metathesis and a Julia-Kocienski olefination. Finally, the formation of the 1,1-dialkyl-1,2-ethanediol motif through C4-C5 bond construction was realized by nucleophilic addition of a vinyl iodide derivative to a keto ester after halogen/lithium exchange followed by reduction of the resulting hydroxy ester. The synthesis of the allylic 1,1-dialkyl-1,2-ethanediol group, achieved by halogen/metal exchange followed by addition to aα-keto ester, is the key step of this convergent strategy towards a potential intermediate of mycothiazole-4,19-diol.
