| Abstract: | (Chemical Equation Presented) A new strategy was designed for the construction of the pentacyclic ring system of ecteinascidin 743. Key features include highly concise routes to the enantiopure, configurationally matched subunit 1, a novel vinylogous Pictet-Spengler cyclization to 2, and a stereospecific epoxidation and regioselective reduction sequence of the C3-C4 enamide to secure 3. © 2006 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
