| Abstract: | A strategy based on bidirectional Dötz benzannulation and the oxa‐Pictet–Spengler reaction toward the synthesis of actinorhodin and γ‐actinorhodin has been explored. This work has resulted in the synthesis of deoxyactinorhodin and deoxy‐γ‐actinorhodin. The latter is a regioisomer of crisamicin A (which has 10,10′‐dihydroxy groups). |
