The C(1)-C(12) segment of 16-membered antitumor macrolide peloruside A has been prepared by a BF3·OEt2-catalyzed Mukaiyama aldol reaction between a glucose-derived C(1)-C(7) aldehyde and a C(8)-C(12) α-benzyloxymethyl ketone. Exclusive 2,3-anti and moderate 3,5-anti/syn facial selectivity (3.5:1) was observed in the aldol reaction. The key C(1)-C(7) aldehyde contains the required stereochemistry at carbons two, three, and five, and has been efficiently prepared on multigram scales from commercial triacetyl D-glucal.

A program directed toward a total synthesis of rapamycin is described.This paper reports the synthesis of enoate 36, a fragment that would correspond to carbons 28-49 of rapamycin.The two building blocks required to reach 36 were allylic alcohol 5 and aci
