An enantioselective synthesis of the C3-C21 segment of the novel immunosuppressant FR252921 is described.

The C18 stereogenic center was installed using Braun's highly diastereoselective acetate aldol reaction. Other key steps involved Curtius rearrangement and Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination reactions. ...[more]
