Abstract

<p> The successful application of epoxide-opening strategies towards the synthesis of ladder-type polyethers is contingent upon further elaboration of the product. By employing two different functionalized templates, a fragment of gymnocin&emsp14;A that bears four sites for subsequent fragment coupling has been prepared (see scheme; Bn=benzyl).</p>
