Two C27-C36 units of halichondrin B were synthesized starting from a C31-C34 alcohol, which was easily available from dimethyl L-tartrate, via construction of the F ring, methylation at the C31 position and C- glycosylation. These crucial reactions proceeded completely stereoselectively, and in particular the stereoselective C-glycosylation with allyltrimethylsilane took place only in the presence of both of two Lewis acids, boron trifluoride etherate and trimethylsilyl triflate.
