✦ Synopsis
The boron-mediated aldol reactions of the (Z)-enals 3 and 7 proceed with high levels of 1,4-stereoinduction arising from the g-substituent. Reagent control from (+)-Ipc 2 BCl can be used eectively to overturn this substrate bias, thus enabling the stereocontrolled formation of (+)-discodermolide (1) and related analogues 15±18.
