Due to its extraordinary biological activity and a daunting architecture, amphidinolide H remains a challenging target for synthetic organic chemists. We have thus embarked on a quest to develop an efficient total synthesis. The stereoselective construction of the C1-C13 and the C14-C26 fragments, the successful installation of the trisubstituted diene unit and our efforts to complete the total synthesis will be presented.
