Enantioselective synthesis of 3-polyenoyltetramic acids

The total synthesis of the 3-polyenoyltetramic acid antibiotic altamycin A has been attempted <i>via</i> a novel method of preparing enantiomerically pure tetramic acids. Thus two target fragments were identified: (a) the tetramic acid and (b) the polyenal fragment. The chirality present...
