Abstract
An improved route to the EF fragment of the spongistatins has been developed and employed in a synthesis of spongistatin 2. The C48–C51 diene side chain, which lacks the chlorine substituent present in spongistatin 1, presented some compatibility issues during target assembly. These were overcome by implementing a late stage Stille cross coupling to construct the diene portion of the natural product.
