The synthesis of the polyketide section present in the potently cytotoxic marine cyclodepsipeptide jasplakinolide and related natural products, geodiamolides and seragamides, is reported. The key step is a Negishi cross coupling of (<i>R</i>)-(3-methoxy-2-methyl-3-oxopropyl)zinc(II) bromide and an (<i>E</i>)-iodoalkene that was synthesized via an aluminium ester enolate attack at (<i>R</i>)-propylene oxide. The overall synthesis comprises nine steps with an overall yield of 21%. It proved to be ...[more]
