Comparison of the 13 C NMR chemical shifts of the natural product 1 and the synthetic products 3 a-h indicated that the relative stereostructure of this fragment in symbiodinolide (1) is that represented in 3 a or f. We have stereodivergently synthesized eight possible diastereoisomers of the C94-C104 fragment 4 a-h, and we have compared their 13 C NMR chemical shifts with those of the natural product, which established the relative stereochemistry of this fragment to be that described in diastereoisomers 4 a or e. By combining the stereostructural outcomes of the C79-C97 and C94-C104 fragments, we have proposed four candidate compounds of the C79-C104 fragment 2 a-d. We also synthesized diastereoisomers 2 a and b (2 a in the preceding article; Chem. Eur. J. 2015, DOI: 10.1002/chem.201503880) by a Julia-Kocienski olefination and diastereoisomers 2 c and d by a Wittig reaction. By comparing the 13 C NMR chemical shifts of natural symbiodinolide (1) with those of the synthetic products 2 a-d, we have reassigned the stereostructure of the C79-C104 fragment of natural product 1 to be that depicted in diastereoisomer 2 b. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=TakamuraHiroyoshi en-aut-sei=Takamura en-aut-mei=Hiroyoshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=FujiwaraTakayuki en-aut-sei=Fujiwara en-aut-mei=Takayuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=KawakuboYohei en-aut-sei=Kawakubo en-aut-mei=Yohei kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=KadotaIsao en-aut-sei=Kadota en-aut-mei=Isao kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=UemuraDaisuke en-aut-sei=Uemura en-aut-mei=Daisuke kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= Department of Chemistry, Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil= Department of Chemistry, Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil= Department of Chemistry, Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil= Department of Chemistry, Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Kanagawa University kn-affil= en-keyword=macrocycles kn-keyword=macrocycles en-keyword=natural products kn-keyword=natural products en-keyword=polyols kn-keyword=polyols en-keyword=stereodivergent synthesis kn-keyword=stereodivergent synthesis en-keyword=structure elucidation kn-keyword=structure elucidation END
