[reaction--see text] An asymmetric total synthesis of the unusual siphonariid metabolite, (-)-baconipyrone C (3), is described. Key steps included a tin(II)-mediated aldol coupling for the preparation of the carboxylic acid 17 and two different boron-mediated aldol additions leading to alcohol 8. Ester formation using modified Yamaguchi conditions gave 24, leading on PMB deprotection to (-)-baconipyrone C.
