63. We revisited the synthesis of epoxides 5 at this point with the purpose to obtain epimeric mixtures enriched in the major isomer, that in turn would maximize the yield of 19(S)-27 and thus the yield of macrocycle (+)-30. However, treatment of aldehyde (+)-11 with (R)-(dimethylamino)methylphenyloxosulfoxonium fluoroborate generated 5 as a diastereomeric mixture (3.7:1) in favor of the desired epimer, which we considered only a modest improvement relative to Matteson methylenation.

67. Macrocyclization to access a variety of small and medium rings via RCM that generate olefins with a dense substitution pattern have been documented but were unprecedented in 16-membered or larger rings. For a recent review on RCM, see: Deiters, A.; Martin, S. F. Chem. Rev. 2004, 104, 2199-2238.

72. 1H NMR of the reaction mixture revealed a doublet of low intensity at 5.05 ppm (J = 10.1 Hz), characteristic of the vinyl proton expected in 35; correct mass for the RCM product was observed by LRMS.
73. A NOESY cross-peak was also observed between the methyl of the 4-OTBS group and the C(5)-H benzylic proton in (+)-36, supporting a C(4)-OTBS-C(5)-H synclinal orientation.
74. COSY and NOESY NMR experiments were employed to assign the regio- and stereochemistry of the C(14,15) e-olefin 37.
