(Chemical Equation Presented) A formal total synthesis of the potent anticancer agent Et-743 is described. The tetrahydroisoquinoline core is stereoselectively constructed using a novel radical cyclization of a glyoxalimine. Further elaboration of this core rapidly accessed the pentacyclic core of Et-743, but a mixture of regiosisomers was obtained in the key Pictet-Spengler ring closure. A known advanced intermediate in the synthesis of Et-743 was intercepted, constituting a formal synthesis of the molecule.

(Chemical Equation Presented) A new strategy was designed for the construction of the pentacyclic ring system of ecteinascidin 743. Key features include highly concise routes to the enantiopure, configurationally matched subunit 1, a novel vinylogous Pict
