ABSTRACT
A stereocontrolled synthesis of 28, the C(10)-C(25) component of amphidinolide C (1), has been efficiently achieved. Reaction of the dithiane component 21 with nonracemic bis(epoxide) 19 directly affords functionalized 2,5-trans-disubstituted tetrahydrofuran 22. Propargylation is highly diastereoselective for the formation of the desired C(12)-C(13) anti stereochemistry, and the resulting terminal alkyne 25 is utilized for a regioselective syn-silylstannylation. A general strategy is illustrated for sequential replacement of stannyl and silyl substituents of the trisubstituted alkene to yield (E)-alkenyl iodide 28.

Bis-stannylation of 1-(methoxy)methoxyallene yields (E)-(3-(methoxymethoxy)prop-2-ene-1,2-diyl) bis-tributylstannane (2) as a highly reactive allylation reagent. Stereoselective reactions of functionalized stannane 2 with a variety of aldehydes provide good yields of 1,2-diol derivatives. Reactions with alpha-alkoxyaldehydes proceed with chelation-controlled addition to afford efficient constructions of 3,4-anti-4,5-syn-relationships in stereotriads bearing three differentiated oxygen (alkoxy and hydroxy) substituents. Mechanistic considerations are presented, and derivatives for NMR experiments support the stereochemical assignments. An X-ray diffraction study is included.
