A catalytic enantioselective propargylation in the presence of 10 mol % of Cr catalyst prepared from Cr(III) bromide and (R)-sulfonamide E furnishes homopropargyl alcohol 8 in 78% yield with 90% ee. Coupled with the workup based on Amano-lipase, this method provides a practical synthesis of optically pure 8 on a multigram scale. With maintenance of its optical purity, 8 has been converted to 1b, the C14-C19 building block of halichondrins and E7389, in two steps. ...[more]
