Five fragments, 2a-4b, embedding all the stereogenic centers of reidispongiolide A (1), have been prepared by a controlled ozonolysis of the natural compound. The absolute stereochemistry of the asymmetric centers of fragment 3, corresponding to the C17-C22 portion of reidispongiolide A, was determined by enantioselective synthesis and application of the advanced Mosher method.

An improved version of the J-based NMR configurational analysis of flexible organic molecules, that relies on extensive use of HSQC-TOCSY spectra, was applied to the stereochemical study of sphinxolide, a potent anti-tumor marine macrolide acting on cell microfilaments that has lately proven to circumvent multi-drug-resistance (MDR) in cancer cells. NMR data allowed stereochemical assignment of all molecular segments except the C18-C19 unit, whose configuration had to be addressed by a chemical/degradative approach.
