More than 30 macrolides have been isolated to date from laboratory-cultured dinoflagellates of the Amphidinium sp.[1] Despite their common origin and a uniformly high cytotoxicity against various cancer cell lines, the individual “amphidinolides” are structurally quite diverse and have therefore inspired many synthetic approaches toward them.[2, 3] One of the rarest members of this series is amphidinolideV (0.00005% of the wet weight of the harvested algae), for which structure 1 (Scheme 1) was proposed on the basis of the spectroscopic data of a sample of no more than 0.2 mg.[4]As part of our ongoing program on bioactive natural products of marine origin,[5] amphidinolide V was chosen as a target for further evaluation. To this end, a flexible entry was sought that would provide meaningful amounts of this scarce metabolite for testing, and allow for systematic modification of its molecular edifice at a later stage. It was envisaged that the distinctive s-trans diene unit of 1, spanned by the vicinal exo-methylene branches at C-4 and C-5, would provide a unique opportunity in this regard. If formed by a sequence of ring-closing alkyne metathesis (RCAM)[6] and subsequent intermolecular enyne metathesis of the resulting cycloalkyne
