Asymmetric catalysis and chirality transfer by the 2,3-Wittig rearrangement were combined to provide a syn, anti stereotriad-containing olefinicalcohol in five steps from inexpensive starting materials. Development of this compound, a versatile intermediate for polypropionate synthesis,gave known building blocks for discodermolide. The biosynthetic cascades controlled by the type I poly...
