The synthesis of the ansa chain of rifamycin S ( 1 ), corresponding to the C(19) to C(27) moiety, epimeric at C(23), is described starting from dimethyl xylo ‐3‐hydroxy‐2,4‐dimethylglutarate ( 4 ). The diester 4 was transformed to the C 10 ‐diester 16 by two threo ‐aldol condensations with 2,6‐dimethylphenyl propionate ( 5 ).
