Sequential Application of Stereoselective syn-Oxidation Methodologies to Natural Product Synthesis: A Potentially Biomimetic Approach to the C 12 -C 21 Bistetrahydrofuran Region of Monensin.

-The bistetrahydrofuran (VII), the C-D ring unit of monensin, is prepared by regio-and enantioselective syn-dihydroxylation of the triene (II), cis-selective syn-oxidative cyclization of the enol (III), and trans-selective syn-oxidative cyclization of the enol (VI). Additionally, it is proposed that the stereochemical pattern of the polyether regions of monensin and lonomycin cannot be correctly produced via VO(acac) 2 -mediated oxidations. -(MCDONALD, F.
