33. Structure of erythro-4a is similar to the epoxide moiety of crytophycins (cytotoxic macrocyclic depsipeptides). The eryi/iro-epoxide of crytophycins could be prepared by m-CPBA or dimethyl dioxirane epoxidation with 2-3:1 erythro selectivity; see: (a) Salamonczyk, G. M.; Han, K.; Guo, Z.-W.; Sih, C. J. J. Org.
