The other side: A convergent total synthesis of peloruside A (1) is described. The key strategic features are a diastereoselective lactonization to generate a C5-C9 valerolactone from the C2-symmetric ketone 3, and a relay ring-closing metathesis reaction to produce a dehydrovalerolactone 2. A new isomer of 1, the valerolactone isopeloruside A (iso-1), was identified. MOM=methoxymethyl.
