General Experimental Procedures: All reactions were performed in flame- or oven-dried glassware fitted with rubber septa under a positive pressure of nitrogen or argon, unless otherwise noted. All reaction mixtures were stirred throughout the course of each procedure using Teflon-coated magnetic stir bars. Air- and moisture-sensitive liquids were transferred via syringe or stainless steel cannula. Solutions were concentrated by rotary evaporation below 35 C. Analytical thin-layer chromatography (TLC) was performed using glass plates pre-coated with silica gel (0.25-mm, 60-Å pore size, 230 400 mesh, SILICYCLE IC) impregnated with a fluorescent indicator (254 nm). TLC plates were visualized by exposure to ultraviolet light (UV), and then were stained by submersion in a basic aqueous solution of potassium permanganate or with an acidic ethanolic solution of anisaldehyde, followed by brief heating. Materials: DCM, DMF, TF, ethyl ether, and acetonitrile to be used in anhydrous reaction mixtures were dried by passage through activated alumina columns immediately prior to use. exanes used were 85% n-hexane. ther commercial solvents and reagents were used as received, unless otherwise noted. Instrumentation: Unless otherwise noted, proton nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 MR) spectra and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance ( 13 C MR) spectra were recorded on a 400 Mz uker Avance III D 2-channel instrument MR spectrometer at 23 C. Proton chemical shifts are expressed in parts per million (ppm, δ scale) and are referenced to residual protium in the MR solvent (CC1 3 : δ 7.26, DMS-d5: δ 2.50). Carbon chemical shifts are expressed in parts per million (ppm, δ scale) and are referenced to the carbon resonance of the MR solvent (CDC1 3 : δ 77.0). Data are represented as follows: chemical shift, multiplicity (s = singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet, q = quartet, dd = doublet of doublets, dt = doublet of triplets, sxt = sextet, m = multiplet, br = broad, app = apparent), integration, and coupling constant (J) in hertz (z). ptical rotations were measured using a JASC P-2000 polarimeter. igh-resolution mass spectra were obtained at the QB3/Chemistry Mass Spectrometry Facility at University of California, Berkeley using a Thermo LTQ-FT mass spectrometer. lting points were recorded on a Electrothermal IA6304 lting Point Apparatus.

Dry DCM (80 ml) was added, resulting in a yellow solution and the vessel was cooled to -78 o C in a dry ice-acetone bath. TiCl 4 (1 M in DCM, 42.7 ml, 42.7 mmol, 1.2 equiv) was added dropwise, resulting in a deep yellow solution. After 5 min, i Pr 2 Et (7.46 ml, 42.7 mmol, 1.2 equiv) was added by syringe pump over 30 min, and the resulting deep red solution was stirred for 2 h at -78 o C. A solution of aldehyde 15 (5.30 g, 35.6 mmol, 1 equiv) in DCM (10 ml) was added via syringe pump over 30 min. After stirring for 30 min, water (100 ml) was added. The vessel was removed from the cooling bath and the system was allowed to warm to 23 o C while the mixture was rapidly stirred. The biphasic mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel and the layers were separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with DCM (2 30 ml).

The vessel was equipped with a reflux condenser, evacuated and flushed with nitrogen (the process of nitrogen S8

exchange was repeated a total of 3 times). Toluene (50 ml) was added, and the resulting clear solution was brought to reflux by means of a 145 o C oil bath. After 12 h, the reaction mixture was allowed to cool to 23 ºC and was concentrated. The resulting white solid was dried at 1 Torr for 1 hour. The vessel was flushed with nitrogen and DCM (80 ml) was added. The resulting colorless solution was cooled to -78 C and Tf (0.80 ml, 8.99 mmol, 0.45 equiv) was added dropwise over 5 min by means of glass syringe (CAUTI: Tf rapidly corrodes most plastic syringes!). Some of the Tf freezes upon contact with the solution. After 1 h the solids had dissolved, and a mixture of isobutyraldehyde (8, 1.82 ml, 20.0 mmol, 1.0 equiv), silyl dienolether (9, 5.70 g, 25.0 mmol, 1.25 equiv), and 2-propanol (1.68 ml, 22.0 mmol, 1.1 equiv) in DCM (20 ml) was added dropwise over 2 h by syringe pump.

After 2 h the mixture was diluted with EtAc (15 ml). The mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel and washed successively with 1 M aqueous KS 4 solution (3 x 5 ml), 1 M aqueous a solution (5 ml) and saturated aqueous ac 3 solution (3 x 5 ml).
