Abstract
The first enantioselective total syntheses of cytotoxic macrolide amphidinolide B1 and the proposed structure for amphidinolide B2 have been accomplished. Key features of the syntheses include a diastereoselective aldol condensation, a spontaneous Wadsworth-Emmons macrocyclization and a directed epoxidation/elimination sequence.
