The potent bryostatin antitumor agents are currently in phase II clinical trials for the treatment of a variety of forms of cancer. Aldol reactions and directed reductions are among the essential steps for the formation of fragments A-C in the total synthesis of the title compound. Coupling of these fragments by sulfone-based olefination and alkylation reactions was followed by macrocyclization and introduction of the enoate moieties on rings B and C.
