9. Methyl pyrrole-2-carboxylate was obtained from pyrrole by acylation with trichloroacetyl chloride as described by Harbuck, J. W.; Rapoport, H. J. Org. Chem. 1972, 37, 3618. The 2-trichloroacetylpyrrole was treated with a solution of NaOMe in MeOH at 0 °C to furnish the methyl ester.
10. Tosylate 4 was obtained from the 2-bromo-5-isopropoxy-4- methoxybenzaldehyde as detailed in Supporting Information. A Wittig reaction afforded the styrene, while anti-Markovnikov hydroboration and standard tosylation of the resulting 2-(2-bromo-5-isopropoxy-4-methoxyphenyl)ethanol gave 4. Preparation of 2-(2-bromo-5-isopropoxy-4-methoxyphenyl) ethanol was described from the same benzaldehyde using a different procedure by: Treu, M.; Jordis, U. Molecules 2002, 7, 374.

12. 1H NMR. The reaction could be followed by HPLC.

17. 2 were inefficient for this transformation: Baudoin, O.; Guénard, D.; Guéritte, F. J. Org. Chem. 2000, 65, 9268.
18. 2 and DPEphos afforded the debrominated compound, 2,4-diisopropoxy-1-methoxybenzene, instead of the desired building block 11b.
19. 2 in refluxing toluene or pyridine, or (iii) Pd-C in toluene or decalin were unsuccessful (unpublished results).
20. Protection of phenol groups as isopropoxyethers was previously demonstrated to be very efficient in the solid-phase synthesis of lamellarins: Cironi, P.; Manzanares, I.; Albericio, F.; Álvarez, M. Org. Lett. 2003, 5, 2959.
