A formal synthesis of (+)-muricatacin from D-xylose

A multistep route towards the aldehydo-lactone 19, the final chiral precursor in a new stereospecific synthesis of (+)-muricatacin, has been developed starting from D-xylose. The key step of the synthesis involves an E-selective Wittig olefination of the lactol 6 with methoxycarbonylmethylidene trip...
