The 8-epiaphidicolane skeleton (3) was formed in one key reaction by highly diastereoselective tandem transannular Diels-Alder (TADA)-aldol reactions from the trans-trans-cis trienic macrocycle (4). The unnatural derivative (11R)-(-)-8-epi-11-hydroxyaphidicolin (2) was thus constructed, and an original solution to the C16 functionalization problem of many aphidicolin (1) syntheses is presented.
