Abstract

A stereoselective synthesis of the C1-C13 fragment of halichondrin B starting from D-glucose is reported. Construction of 2,5-trans (B) and 2,5-cis substituted tetrahydropyran (A) rings using intramolecular Michael reactions under kinetical and thermodynamical conditions, respectively, were the critical steps.
