The 15-membered caffrane ring of the natural product group of combretastatins D is synthesized in high yield with suitably functionalized saturated seco acids. The key step is a Mitsunobu-type macrolactonization. A common synthon is used for the construct

Combretastatin D-1, (2), was synthesized via a 12 step sequence. Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation was used in order to introduce the appropriate asymmetry. Regiospecific cyclodehydration of the diol 3 gave the title compound in 96% ee.
