A stereocontrolled synthesis of epoxide 6, which represents the C n-Cn+7 or "eastern moiety" building block for the title compounds, has been realized in 19 steps. Our synthesis started from tetrabromoacetone 26 and afforded dibromotriene 33b in six steps. The latter was subjected to a ring-closing metathesis, which gave the dibromovinyl-substituted lactone 34 in high yield. A highly stereoselective conjugate addition/enolate aldolization sequence established the additional stereocenters with perfect selectivity. Epoxide 47b was reached in another eight steps, which included a C-SiMe2Pha€‰→a€‰C-OH oxidation in the presence of an acetal group. The final structure 6 was completed by hydrostannylation/brominolysis. A dibromovinyl-substituted unsaturated δ-lactone obtained by ring-closing metathesis underwent a highly diastereoselective silyl cuprate 1,4-addition/aldolization sequence. Tamao-Fleming oxidation transformed the silyl into a hydroxy group. Alkyne formation, hydrostannylation, and N-bromosuccinimidolysis converted the dibromovinyl into a trans-bromovinyl moiety.
