31. Recently, a new synthetic method was reported for the construction of the nine-membered ether ring, together with an application of the method to synthesis of the EFGH ring skeleton of brevetoxin A: K.

39. Use of 10-camphorsulfonic acid as an acid catalyst in this acetalization gave a 1:1 mixture of acetals 10.
40. When chlorotrimethylsilane was used as silylating agent, a significant amount (10-20% yield) of α-alkoxyallylsilane was formed as a byproduct.

42. From the corresponding γ-alkoxyallyltrimethylsilane, cyclization of the β-H isomer gave the desired (23S,24A)-5 in 42% yield as the major product together with its (23R,24R) diastereoisomer (30%), whereas cyclization of the α-H isomer produced 5 in only 29% yield together with three other stereoisomers for C23 and C24 in yields of 28, 27, and 13%.
43. The configuration at C27 of 14 was assigned on the basis of strong NOEs between 24-H/27-H and 27-H/29-H. The syn relationship between 23-H and 30-H was also confirmed by NOE experiments.
44. β-Acetoxy ketone 14 underwent partial β-elimination during chromatography over silica gel to yield the α,β-unsaturated ketone.
