Abstract

A new approach was developed to versatile enantiopure stereotriads using chiral oxazaborolidinone-promoted asym. aldol reaction of a racemic aldehyde with a bromo silyl nucleophile. A short synthesis of the C15-C21 segment I of (+)-discodermolide was achieved by elongation of one of the stereotriads with further diastereoselective aldol reaction with the same nucleophile.
