An efficient synthesis of the C20-C46 segment of phorboxazole B is described. The key steps involved Hg(OAc)(2)/I(2)-induced cyclization to construct the cis-tetrahydropyran moiety, the coupling of the metalated 2-methyloxazole 7 with lactone 6, and Julia olefination to furnish the conjugated diene moiety.
