products zampanolide and dactylolide is investigated using Bestmann ylide to link the C16–C20 alcohol with the C3–C8 aldehyde fragment.
Keywords: Bestmann ylide; dactylolide; dienoate; (triphenylphosphoranylidene)ketene; zampanolide; Introduction
(Triphenylphosphoranylidene)ketene, Ph3P=C=C=O (1), was
-component reaction between (triphenylphosphoranylidene)ketene (Bestmann ylide, 1), an alcohol and an unsaturated aldehyde delivers α,β,γ,δ-unsaturated esters. This methodology enabled the facile synthesis of E,Z-dienoate products 5b and 5c, which represent two-thirds of the dactylolide/zampanolide
