    Abstract

    Orthogonal and modular templating is an effective basis for the preparation of the biologically active annonaceous acetogenin 10-hydroxyasimicin (1). The versatile tartrate-derived 2,3-butanediacetal building block together with a highly diastereoselective hetero-Diels-Alder approach to the butenolide unit were usefully employed in this novel synthetic route.
