A 17 step synthesis of 55, a late intermediate in Danishefsky's guanacastepene A synthesis, has been completed in 4% overall yield. Key features include the use of vinylmagnesium bromide in the Pd-catalyzed coupling with triflate 13 to give triene 16 without the formation of Heck products, a novel extension of the Stork-Jung vinylsilane Robinson annulation that provides tricyclic 2-hydroxymethylcyclohexenone 42 from 23b in four steps and 51% yield, the ability to obtain almost exclusively alpha'-alkylation of 35ba by the proper choice of protecting groups, and the ability to obtain the desired -alcohol selectively by reduction of keto alcohol 42 rather than keto ester 53.

A convenient and general synthesis of various 4-substituted 3-iodocoumarins and 4,5-disubstituted 3-iodobutenolides is described via an exclusive 6-endo-dig iodocyclization of 3-ethoxy-1-(2-alkoxyphenyl)-2-yn-1-ols and 5-endo-dig iodocyclization of 1-alkoxy-4-ethoxy-3-yn-1,2-diols, respectively. The reaction is carried out under very mild conditions using I2 in CH2Cl2 or toluene at room temperature
