laboratories has been employed for the stereoselective synthesis of bengamide E (16) and analogues at the terminal olefinic position. In the event, the chiral sulfonium salt 30 was transformed into its corresponding sulfur ylide and reacted with aldehydes 21 and 44 to efficiently provide epoxy amides 31 and 45, respectively. To access the bengamides from these epoxy amides, we combined a synthetic strategy
