Acyclic stereocontrol is the basis of an original strategy adopted for the first, highly stereoselective total synthesis of the free acid zincophorin (1), a unique ionophore antibiotic. The stereoselective synthesis of the trisubstituted tetrahydropyran moiety and the construction of the eight contiguous stereogenic centers were key challenges in the synthesis.
