The details of a convergent total synthesis of (+)-mycalamide A are descri7bed. Yb(OTf)3-TMSCl-catalyzed cross-aldol reaction conditions are used to synthesize the right segment of mycalamide A. In this reaction, an acid-sensitive aldehyde reacts with methyl trimethylsilyl dimethylketene acetal without epimerization to provide the desired aldol adduct. Additionally, a tetrahydropyran ring, which is the left segment of mycalamide A, is prepared using a novel one-pot δ-lactone formation methodology. Both segments are constructed from a common starting material, D-mannitol. These segments are then coupled in the presence of BuLi, and the functional groups are transformed to complete the synthesis of (+)-mycalamide A.

The synthesis of mycalamide B, theopederin D and pederin, which are antitumour agents was discussed. All three compounds were prepared from 6-lithio-2,3-dimethyl-4-phenylselenomethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran and 2-(3-chloropropyl)-3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran-4-one. Ground state conformational models were proposed to explain the stereoselectivity of the reactions. The absolute and relative stereochemistry of the compounds has been established by X-ray crystallography and NMR studies.

Mycalamide B, a potent antitumour agent, was synthesised from cheap, readily available starting materials: ethyl lactate, ethyl isobutyrate, 4-chlorobutanal, and 4-chlorobutanoyl chloride. The trioxabicyclo[4.4.0]decane ring system was created by reaction of a methoxymethyl ether with a silyloxyoxirane induced by phosphorus pentoxide.
Pederin: The metallated dihydropyran approach. Stereoselective reduction of N-acylimidates via rhodium-catalysed hydroboration

, p. 1191 - 1200 (2007/10/02)
A synthesis of the insect toxin pederin (1) based upon the union of metallated dihydropyran 8 with the oxamate ester derivative 9 is described. Noteworthy features include (a) a new method for the construction of metallated dihydropyrans which tolerates h

The conjugate addition of phenylselenomethyl-lithium to the α,β-unsaturated lactone (4) was a key step in a short synthesis of (+/-)-benzoylselenopederic acid (2); union of (2) and (+/-)-benzoylpedamide (3) by a modification of known procedures gave (+/-)-pederin (1).
