Abstract
Concise syntheses of two 3-polyenoyl-5-methylenefuran-2,4-diones, which are proposed to be key intermediates in the biosynthesis of the unusual 32-membered carbocycle-containing quartromicin antibiotics, are reported involving acylation of 3-lithio-4-methoxy-5-methylene-5H-furan-2-one as a key step.

General Procedure
for the Acylation of Compounds 18 and 28: To a stirred solution
of 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidine (TMP, 0.84 mL, 5.00 mmol) in THF
(5.50 mL) at -78 ˚C under argon was added n-BuLi (1.60 M in hexanes, 3.70 mL, 5.92
mmol) dropwise. After 15 min the solution was warmed to r.t. and
stirred for a further 30 min to give a 0.5 M solution of LTMP. To
a stirred solution of 18 or 28 (1.4
mmol) in THF (20 mL) at -78 ˚C under argon was added
a solution of LTMP (0.5 M in THF, 4.40 mL, 2.20 mmol) dropwise.
After stirring for 1 h, a solution of ester (0.70 mmol) in THF (2
mL) was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred at -78 ˚C
for 24 h and quenched with sat. citric acid (20 mL). The organic
layer was separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with CH2Cl2 (5 × 50
mL). The combined organic layers were dried with MgSO4 and
the solvent was removed in vacuo.
