Synthesis and Stereochemical Assignment of Angucycline Antibiotic, PD-116740

The first total synthesis and absolute structure assignment of PD-116740 (2) was achieved by exploiting two key steps: 1) a thermal ring expansion of a benzocyclobutene derivative, and 2) pinacol cyclization of biaryl dialdehyde.
