(Chemical Equation Presented) A short sequence based on asymmetric catalysis, chirality transfer, and an optimized carbometallation protocol gave an anti,anti stereotriad building block in six steps. Both enantiomers of the chirality source, N-methyl ephedrine, are inexpensive, and the auxiliary is recoverable. In one chiral series, the building block was converted to the B-2 intermediate in Miyashita's synthesis of scytophycin C; in the enantiomeric series, it was converted to a key intermediate for aplyronine A and to the polyketide cap for the callipeltins.

The C21-C34 subunit 27 of the aplyronines, containing eight stereocentres and a terminal N-methyl-N-vinylformamide moiety, was prepared using the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons coupling of β-ketophosphonate 5 with aldehyde 19. The two stereotetrad sequences were constructed by chiral ketone aldol reactions, while the N-methyl-N-vinylformamide was introduced using a novel Wittig olefination.
