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
