A concise route to functionalized 14-membered macrolides related to erythronolide A was achieved. Key steps include the simultaneous formation of bis[allenic] substrates, efficient macrolactonization, highly stereoselective oxidation to the corresponding bis[spirodiepoxide], and nucleophilic spirodiepoxide opening. The structure and reactivity of these macrolides, and the strategy that led to their evaluation, are discussed. ...[more]
