A stereoselective synthesis of the C37-C54 subunit of halichondrin B via coupling between the C38-C43 fragment starting from D-tartaric acid and the C44-C54 fragment strating from L-tartaric acid is reported. Construction of three consecutive J, K, and L rings and introduction of asymmetric centers at C51 and C53 were important steps.
