Abstract

Abstract A stereoselective synthesis of a C 1–C 11 building block for the polyol-polyene antibiotic rimocidin has been developed. Its functional groups originate from a disubstituted indane, which underwent Birch reduction, and oxidative cleavage. This provided a dihydropyranone with a β-keto ester side-chain. The latter was subjected to a Noyori hydrogenation (ds> 97: 3). An oxy-Michael addition gave a mixture of two spiroketals. ...
