25. Pfaltz and co-workers have recently presented a strategy for the convergent synthesis of long-chain polydeoxypropionates that employs the stereoselective catalytic hydrogenation of trisubstituted internal double bonds as key steps:, M.

28. The absolute configuration of the newly formed stereocenter was determined by Mosher ester analysis as described in:, T. R. Hoye, C. S. Jeffrey, F. Shao, Nat. Protoc. 2007, 2, 2451-2458.

30. The absolute configuration of the newly formed hydroxyl-bearing stereocenter in 17 was confirmed by conversion into the corresponding acetonide 18 (after debenzylation) and analysis of its 13C NMR spectrum. The 13C chemical shifts of the two ketal methyl groups in 18 were observed at δ=24.34 and 24.41 ppm, whereas the quaternary ketal carbon appeared at 100.8 ppm. These data are in excellent agreement with the predicted shifts for acetonides of anti-1,3-diols:, S. D. Rychnovsky, B. N. Rogers, T. I. Richardson, Acc. Chem. Res. 1998, 31, 9-17.

38. The same ee has been reported for this reaction by Barbas and co-workers, who obtained the aldol product in 60 % yield:, K. Sakthivel, W. Notz, T. Bui, C. F. Barbas, III, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2001, 123, 5260-5267. In our synthesis of doliculide (1), only 26 obtained from 14 was processed in the aldol reaction with methacrolein (25).

The all-syn arrangement of the methyl groups on C2, C4, and C6 was further confirmed by an NMR spectroscopy method recently developed by Breit and co-workers that is based on the differences in chemical shifts between the vicinal protons attached to the carbon atoms connecting the chiral centers in polydeoxypropionates:, Y.
