The stereoselective synthesis of a C5-C20 and a C21-C34 subunit of the aplyronine family of polyketide marine macrolides has been achieved. These subunits contain all 15 stereocenters of the core structure. Six of the 15 stereocenters were introduced through enantioselective and diastereoselective additions of chiral allenylindium reagents to α-methyl-β-oxygenated propionaldehydes. The products of these additions were further transformed by reactions involving the terminal alkynyl substituent produced in the addition reactions. Unlike previous applications of this methodology, the present synthesis employs Pd(0)-catalyzed transmetalations of chiral allenylpalladium intermediates to generate the chiral allenylindium reagents in situ.

Chiral allenylmetal halides were prepared starting from enantioenriched (~95% ee) 1-octyn-3-ol mesylate (1) and 3-butyn-2-ol mesylate (7). Addition of these transient metallo species to aldehydes in situ afforded mainly anti homopropargylic alcohol adduct

Enantioenriched propargylic mesylates are converted to chiral allenylzinc reagents via transient allenylpalladium species by treatment with a Pd(0)-phosphine catalyst in the presence of excess Et2Zn. These zinc reagents undergo S(E)2' additions to various aldehydes to yield mainly the anti homopropargylic alcohol adducts of high ee. The reaction is most efficient in THF with Pd(OAc)2· PPh3 as the catalyst precursor. As little as 2.5 mol % of this precursor is effective.
