Synthetic Studies of Halichondrin B, an Antitumor Polyether Macrolide Isolated from a Marine Sponge. 1. Stereoselective Synthesis of the C1-C13 FragmentviaConstruction of the B and A Rings by Kinetically and thermodynamically Controlled Intramolecular Michael Reactions.

Abstract
A stereoselective synthesis of the C1-C13 fragment of halichondrin B starting from D-glucose is reported. Construction of 2,5-trans (B) and 2,5-cis substituted tetrahydropyran (A) rings using intramolecular Michael reactions under kinetical and thermodynamical conditions, respectively, were the critical steps.
