The C1-C14 fragment of the paclitaxel-like antimicrotubule agent laulimalide has been synthesized in 15 steps from L-(-)-citronellal. The C9 chiral center was established using an asymmetric allylation, the dihydropyran ring was prepared through ring-closing metathesis, and the exo-methylene was incorporated using Eschenmoser's salt.
