Synthetic Studies of the Rutamycins. Construction of the C1-C15 Subunit of Rutamycin B

Abstract
The linear, polypropionate portion of the macrolide antibiotic rutamycin B was synthesized by stereoselective, aldol condensation of a ketone and an aldehyde comprising C1-C8 and C9-C15 segments, respectively. Both subunits originated from (R)-3-hydroxy-2-methylpropionate, which was elaborated using crotylstannane and asymmetric crotylboronate methodology.
