Abstract
Progress towards the total synthesis of the macrolide natural product anthracimycin is described. This new approach utilises an intermolecular Diels-Alder strategy followed by epimeirsation to form the key trans-decalin framework. The route culminates in the stereoselective synthesis of an advanced tricyclic lactone intermediate, containing five contiguous sterogenic centres with the correct relative and absolute stereochemistry required for the anthracimycin core motif.
