✦ Synopsis
Ketone 4 representing the C12-C25 subunit of the ionophore antibiotic zincophorin, has been prepared by a sequence incorporating the [2,3] Wittig rearrangement of a tertiary allylic ether and subsequent lactonization via intramolecular, acid-catalyzed SN' addition to an allylic ether.

The F\_,/Z-selectivities in the [2,3]-Wittig rearrangements of secondary 13-(methyl or silyl)allylic ethers are shown to depend critically on the nature of groups on the carbanion terminus, thereby permitting elucidation of the structural requirements for attaining high Z-selectivity.
