This paper describes the synthesis of the marine natural product, siphonarienal. The key step of this synthesis is an aldol reaction that constructs most of the skeleton and sets all three stereocenters of the target in one step from commercially available starting materials. Deoxygenation and chain homologation steps complete the synthesis.

[reaction: see text] The opening of methylketene dimer, followed by aldol reactions of the resulting enolate, provides a convenient access to syn,syn-dipropionate aldol adducts of a variety of aldehydes. These aldol adducts are usefulprecursors in the synthesis of complex polypropionates.
