Abstract
| - A highly stereoselective and convergent formal total synthesis of (+)-methynolide is described. The salient featuresof this synthesis have been the construction of the C1−C7and C8−C11fragments via a desymmetrization approach,Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation of an allyl alcohol,respectively, and linkage of both the fragments by Nozaki−Hiyama−Kishi reaction.
