Producing laulimalide

Engineering of a recombinant biosynthetic pathway Produce macrocyclic precursors by fermentation Several synthetic transformations will have to be validated

• install the transannular dihydropyran

• 2,3-Z olefin.

Provides new rapid and efficient strategy for total synthesis

Hypothesis tested using model system

Can we form dihydropyrans via transannular oxa-conjugate addition in 20-membered rings?

Is oxa-conjugate addition a stereoselective reaction?

Kinetic or thermodynamically controlled?

Conclusions

Transannular oxa-conjugate addition can occur

High energy oxetane favored over low energy dihydropyran

Unusual regioselectivity of acid catalyzed oxa-conjugate addition

Regioselectivity could be attributed to olefin geometry of elimination (triene intermediate)
