Abstract

The stereoselective synthesis of maitotoxin GHI-ring system having a 1,2-diol side chain was accomplished via successive SmI2-induced reductive cyclizations of β-alkoxyacrylate-aldehyde and optically active (E)-β-alkoxyvinylsulfoxide-aldehyde, dihydroxylation of α,β-unsaturated δ-lactone, and Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation of the side chain.
