Abstract
A synthesis of two structurally related macrodiolides representing the aglycone of natural products elaiophylin and halichoblelide is described. The key transformation for both is a Ti(II)-mediated (silyloxy)enyne cyclization, generating a new methyl stereocenter and providing a diene that can be selectively cross metathesized with crotonic acid.
