The synthesis of the C1-C11 fragment 33 of bafilomycin A1 was achieved. Intermediate ketone 16 was prepared in six steps from 4-oxopimelate 13. Desymmetrization of this ketone using Koga's chiral base followed by TMSCl quench furnished silyl enol ether 17 with excellent enantioselectivity. Further elaboration led to C5-C11 aldehyde 24, which was coupled with sulfone 3 to give lactone 25 in very good yield. The subsequent reductive ...
