Abstract

Fostriecin, a potent protein phosphatase inhibitor and antitumor agent, has been enantioselectively synthesized in naturally occurring form via a versatile route, which also allows one to secure all possible stereoisomeres of the C1–C13 fragment including the C11 stereocenter and the geometry of the Δ12-double bond.
