A synthesis of a 1,3-dithiane corresponding to the C1-side chain of zaragozic acid D is described. An aldol reaction using an Evans oxazolidinone is the key step in controlling stereochemistry. Metallation of the derived dithiane monosulfoxide and coupling to an aldehyde effected construction of the C1-C7 bond. Subsequent steps are also reported, including acid-mediated ketalization resulting in formation of an advanced synthetic intermediate containing the bicyclic ketal core of the natural product.
