An enantioselective total synthesis of (+)-peloruside A (
1) is described. Peloruside A (
1) is a potent microtubule stabilizer with significantclinical potential. The synthesis is convergent and involves the assembly of C1-C10 segment 2 and C11-C24 segment 3 by a novel aldolprotocol followed by Yamaguchi macrolactonization of the resulting
seco-acid, selective methylation of hemi-ketal and removal of the protectinggroups to peloruside A.
