A convergent synthesis of (-)-2-epi-peloruside A has been achieved. Highlights include implementation of multicomponent type I anion relay chemistry (ARC) to unite 2-TBS-1,3-dithiane with two epoxides to construct the eastern hemisphere, a late-stage dithiane union to secure the complete, fully functionalized carbon backbone, and Yamaguchi macrolactonization, which led to (-)-2-epi-peloruside A via an unexpected epimerization at C(2). ...[more]
