β¦ Synopsis
The key synthons 2 and 3 [with suitable protecting groups] of the erythronolide A seco acid (1) have been prepared in an enantiomerically pure form, utilizing a stereoselective osmylation of chiral hydroxy (Z,E)-diene ester 6a and subsequent hydrogenation. Recent interest in macrolide and ionophore antibiotics has stimulated the development of efficient methods for the stereocontrolled synthesis of densely functionalized acyclic or tetrahydrofuran or -pyran molecules [e.g., erythronolide A seco acid (l)].l-3 As a part of our research objectives directed at the total synthesis of these polyoxygenated natural products (Scheme I), we previously reported an efficient, enantio-and stereoselective preparation of a

The complex structure of the potent anti-leukemic ansa macrolide, maytansine (3,' undoubtedly presents a formidable synthetic challenge. We have recently reported2 the preparation of the cyclic carbinolamide gwhich represents the so-called "eastern zone" of maytansine. In this communication we wis
