A bottleneck in the synthesis of the model compound 1 , which bears a dimeric terpenoyl glycoside side chain from cytotoxic saponins, was overcome by the stepwise construction of the terpene part by regioselective acylation of the sugar with a functionalized phosphonate followed by a Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons olefination.
