"Chemical Equation Presented" Powerful aldol reactions: Stereoselective Lewis base catalyzed aldol equivalents expediently provided eight of the ten stereocenters required for the synthesis of erythronolide B. Indeed, all eleven stereocenters present in the erythromycin aglycone have been derived directly or indirectly from catalytic asymmetric equivalents of aldol addition reactions (see scheme).

The asymmetric syntheses of 6-deoxyerythronolide B (1) and oleandolide (2) have been achieved, each in 18 linear steps. These syntheses demonstrate the utility of chiral β-keto imide building block 3 as a versatile building block for the aldol-based assemblage of polypropionate-derived natural products.
