A protected C29-C51 subunit ((+)-38) of spongistatin 1 has been obtained. Key steps involve the aldol condensation of (3S,4R)-3-methyl-7-[(p- methoxybenzyl)oxy]-4-[(triethylsilyl)oxy]octan-2-one ((-)-6) with (tert- butyl)dimethylsilyl 4-deoxy-2,3-di-O-(methoxymethyl)-4-methyl-6-O-(tert- butyl)dimethylsilyl)-β-D-glycero-L-gluco-heptodialdo-1,5-pyranoside ((+)-7) and a C-glycosidation of (4R,7RandS,E)-7,8-dichloro-2-methylidene-1- (trimethylsilyl)oct-5-en-4-yl p-methoxybenzoate (16). Aldehyde (+)-7 was derived from (R)-3-benzyloxy-2-methylpropan-1-ol ((+)-10) in 13 formal steps but requiring the isolation of five intermediate products only. The longest linear synthetic scheme converts (+)-10 into (+)-38 in 2% overall yield (isolation of 11 intermediate products).
