(Chemical Equation Presented) Stereodiad sulfones 18a and 18b are key intermediates for polyketide synthesis. This note describes the synthesis of 18a and 18b from enantiopure epoxide 2. The two sequences have been optimized for large-scale synthesis to g

Getting the most out of sulfur. Enantiopure epoxyvinyl sulfone 1 is transformed to syn- and anti-dienyl sulfones 2 and 3, respectively, by means of a nucleophilic methylation/sulfenylation/directed elimination reaction sequence. Compound 2 has been converted into termini-differentiated seven-carbon polypropionate segments found in five biologically significant natural products.
