                                The extensive ring-expansion strategy for the synthesis of tetrahydrooxepin, oxocane, and hexahydrooxonin, which correspond to the D(E), I and F rings of ciguatoxin (CTX1B, 1), respectively, has been established. Chemoenzymatic acylation of the meso alcohols using a lipase provides an expeditious entry for the enantiomeric building blocks. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
