A newly designed synthetic entry to the C1-C27 domain of okadaic acid has been developed. This incorporates substantial improvements in the preparations of the key okadaic acid building blocks representing the C3-C8, C9-C14, and C16-C27 portions. The synthesis of the C3-C8 lactone used (R)-glycidol as the origin of the C4 stereogenic center and featured a late-stage optional incorporation of the C7 hydroxyl group. The complementary C9-C14 fragment was synthesized in a concise route from (R)-3-tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy-2-methylpropanal and propargyl bromide. Assembly of the C3-C14 spiroketal-containing intermediate from the constituent fragments revealed a dramatic effect of C7 functionalization upon spiroketalization efficiency. In contrast, both (9E)- and (9Z)-enones converged readily to the C8 spiroketal upon treatment with acid. Modifications to the central C16-C27 fragment of okadaic acid included the early replacement of benzylic protecting groups by more suitable functionalities to facilitate both the generation of the C15-C27 intermediate and the deprotection of the final products. These modular building blocks were deployed for the synthesis of the C1-C27 scaffold of 7-deoxyokadaic acid. This work demonstrates improvements in the formation of versatile okadaic acid intermediates, as well as a reordering of fragment couplings. This alternative order of coupling was designed to promote the late stage incorporation of nonnatural lipophilic extensions from the C27 terminus.
