The C36-C46 subunit 3, containing the F ring of spongistatin 1 (1), was prepared in 12 steps from ketone (R)-7. Key steps include: (i) the boron-mediated anti aldol reaction, 7 9; (ii) the Sharpless AD, 6 --~ 13; and (iii) an intramolecular hetero-Michael addition, followed by base-promoted equilibr

β¦ Synopsis
&&g& When treated with a reagent prepared from equimolar quantities of methyllithium and copper iodide, 7,21-d&O-TMS baf%mycin A2 3 undergoes ring expansion to give the 1 I-membered lactone homolog 5 in nearly quantitative yield. Acid hydrolysis gives iso-bafilomycin Al. Ring contraction to the original M-membered lactone takes place in the presence of fluoride ion. A mechanistic rationale and X-ray crystallographic evidence a~ PEsented. The hygrolide group of macrolide antibiotics comprises bafdomycin A1 1 and the hygrolidins23 whose structures are characterized by an unusual M-membered tetraenic lactone ring, containing a sugar-like appendage. The structure and absolute configuration of batilomycin Al 1 was established by X-ray crystallographic analysis4 and by NMR spectroscopy.~
