The total synthesis of the C19 lipid diols 5 and 6, the enantiomers of the anthelmintic marine natural products 1 and 3, is described. Key steps in the divergent syntheses include a syn selective epoxidation of a homoallylic alcohol, a one-pot alkoxypalladation-carbonylation-lactonisation reaction sequence and a DMEAD promoted Mitsunobu inversion.

For over 30 years, rapamycin has generated a sustained and intense interest from the scientific community as a result of its exceptional pharmacological properties and challenging structural features. In addition to its well known therapeutic value as a potent immunosuppressive agent, rapamycin and its derivatives have recently gained prominence for the treatment of a wide variety of other human malignancies. Herein we disclose full details of our extensive investigation into the synthesis of rapamycin that culminated in a new and convergent preparation featuring a macro-etherification/catechol-templating strategy for construction of the macrocyclic core of this natural product.
