Key steps in a synthesis of the C23-C32 fragment of rapamycin include a regioselective Pd(0)-catalysed silylstannylation of an alkyne; a Pd(0)-catalysed coupling of a (Z)-2-silyl-1-stannylalkene with an acid choride; and a Fleming-Tamao oxidation of an allylic silanol generated by photo-oxidation of an allylic furyldimethylsilane.
