Unified, efficient, and scalable syntheses of the halichondrin natural products are reported. A newly developed Zr/Ni-mediated one-pot ketone synthesis was used to couple the two halves of the final product at a late stage in the synthesis. With the use of a slight excess of the left halves, the desired ketones were isolated in yields of 80–90 %. The halichondrins were obtained from these ketones in two steps, namely desilylation and [5,5]-spiroketal formation. The new synthetic route was effective for the total synthesis of all members in the homohalichondrin subgroup. The scalability of this process was demonstrated with halichondrin B; 150 mg of halichondrin B (68 % overall yield) were obtained from 200 mg of the right-half precursor.

Paragraph 00684; 00685, (2019/01/21)
The present invention provides methods for the synthesis of ketones involving a Ni/Zr-mediated coupling reaction. The Ni/Zr-mediated ketolization reactions can be used in the synthesis of halichondrins (e.g., halichondrin A, B, C; homohalichondrin A, B, C; norhalichondnn A, B, C), and analogs thereof. Therefore, the present invention also provides synthetic methods useful for the synthesis of halichondrins, and analogs thereof. Also provided herein are compounds (i.e., intermediates) useful in the synthesis of halichondrins, and analogs thereof. In particular, the present invention provides methods and compounds useful in the synthesis of compound of Formula (H3-A)
