The first total synthesis of the natural cytotoxic agent sporiolide A has been accomplished from D-glucal in 16 steps with 6.1% overall yield. Carbohydrates were applied as the chiral templates to manipulate the absolute configuration during the synthesis. Pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC)-promoted transformation of the cyclic enol-ether to lactone, followed by Yamaguchi esterification and intramolecular ring closure metathesis, greatly facilitates synthesis of the target compound. ...[more]
