The first total syntheses of the cytotoxic macrolides(+)-acutiphycin (1) and(+)-trans-20,21-didehydroacutiphycin (2) have been achieved. An acyclicstereocontrol strategy was employed to establish theconfigurationsat C(5), C(10), and C(13) as well as the E geometry of theC(8,9)-trisubstituted olefin. Importantly, thenaturalsource of 1 and 2, the blue-green algaOsillatoria acutissima, no longer produces thesemetabolites.
