Synthetic studies on the bryostatins: preparation of a truncated BC-ring intermediate by pyran annulation.

ABSTRACT: [reaction: see text]. A synthesis of a potential BC-ring subunit (C9-C27) for bryostatin 1, a remarkably potent anticancer agent, has been developed in 16 steps and 18% overall yield. The key features of this route include a BITIP-catalyzed asymmetric allylation reaction, chelation-controlled allylations, a hydroformylation reaction, and a pyran annulation reaction.
