A stereoselective synthesis of the C21–C29 fragment of (+)-Sorangicin A has been described following our recently developed iodine-catalyzed tandem isomerization followed by C–O and C–C bond formation for the construction of trans-2,6-disubstituted dihydropyran as the key step. In this Letter, the problem of installing the C25 asymmetric center has been sorted out by utilizing an iodolactonization strategy.
