• hydrogenation, desilylation and removal of the butane diacetal group finished the total synthesis of 134. The spectroscopic data for synthetic 134 (1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, MS, mp and specific rotation) were in excellent agreement with those reported for naturally occurring muricatetrocin C (134). In 2002, the full

• . Oxidative release of 160 followed by Swern oxidation and Takai reaction provided the terminal vinyl iodide 161. Final Pd0-catalyzed coupling of alkyne 157 with vinyl iodide 161 gave the enediyne 162, which underwent selective hydrogenation and desilylation to give (+)-parviflorin (153). In 1997, Trost’s

• juncture we were able to separate the diastereoisomers, 3a (anti) and 3b (syn), by flash column chromatography on silica gel. Alternatively the syn isomer 3b could be prepared almost exclusively using D-ribonolactone as the starting material [23]. Desilylation of 3a was effective with TBAF in THF and

• 96% and 91% yields, respectively. These compounds were identical to those obtained from 2c after the diastereoisomers had been subjected to protection as MOM ethers on treatment with MOM chloride to give 5a and 5b followed by desilylation, the anti:syn ratio being 2.3:1. The syn-product was

• unsuccessful, apparently because the silyl ether failed to survive the reaction conditions. Inelegant though it was, we were forced at this stage to change protecting groups on the alcohol. Fortunately, the drop in yield was not too serious when desilylation of 34 with aqueous hydrofluoric acid to give the

Similar strategies using either the free diol or the corresponding acetonide were not successful leading to extensive decomposition. Following TBAF promoted desilylation, peracylation and reduction

• silylketenes with reactive ylides involves deprotonation by the basic reagent to generate ynolate anions. Clearly, since such a pathway cannot operate with the substituted ketenes used here other mechanisms are at play, which may include nucleophilic desilylation or ketene oligomerisation initiated by
