(+)-11,11′-Di-O-methylelaiophylidene – preparation from elaiophylin and total synthesis from (R)-3-hydroxybutyrate and (S)-malate

TL;DR: In this article, a C2-symmetrical macrodiolide with 2 × 11 stereogenic units was synthesized from (R)-3-hydroxy-butanoate (from the biopolymer PHB) and (S)-malic ester, using diastereoselective steps for the generation of the other stereogenic unit.
