✦ Synopsis


A new approach was developed to versatile enantiopure stereotriads using chiral oxazaborolidinone-promoted asymmetric aldol reaction of a racemic aldehyde with a bromo silyl nucleophile. A short synthesis of the C 15 -C 21 segment of (+)-discodermolide was achieved by elongation of one of the stereotriads with further diastereoselective aldol reaction with the same nucleophile.
