The total synthesis of 16-membered macrolides, macraosphelides I and G, has been achieved starting from ethyl-(S)-lactate and (S)-malic acid. A combination of Jacobsen's hydrolytic kinetic resolution and Sharpless epoxidation is used for the creation of two stereogenic centres, while Yamaguchi esterification and ring-closing metathesis strategies were used for the construction of the lactone ring.
