Details of model studies probing the chemistry of the tricarbonyl region of FK-506 are presented, and their use in designing a successful route to this immunosuppressant is outlined. Application of asymmetric oxazolidinone alkylation/aldol methodology to a convergent, highly flexible synthesis of the C10-C18 fragment and to improvements in the preparation of the C20-C34 segment are also discussed.

The coupling of the previously described subunits 2, 3, and 4 is described.The C28-C27 E-double bond is fashioned from a sulfurane induced dehydration of alcohol 11.The C19-C20 E-double bond was constructed via a modified Julia process culminating in a reductive elimination of a vicinal trifluoroacetoxy sulfone (see 22 -> 23 -> 24 and 25).The synthesis of intermediates anticipating potential macrolactonization are also described.
