Abstract
As an exceptionally potent antimitotic macrolide, altohyrtin A/spongistatin 1 shows great promise in cancer chemotherapy but its extreme scarcity in the natural sponges has halted its further preclinical development. A highly stereocontrolled total synthesis, which exploits boron-mediated aldol bond constructions, has been realized to provide, for the first time, a useful amount of synthetic material.Entities:
