Dynemicin A, a potent antitumor antibiotic, has a novel 10-membered enediyne ring connected to an anthraquinone moiety. A model compound, having the bicyclo[7.3.1]tridec-4-ene-2,6-diyne system, without the aromatic moiety was synthesized from 3-ethoxy-2-cyclohexen-1-one in 12 steps through an intramolecular acetylide cyclization as a key reaction. The cyclized product was transformed into an experamicin/ calicheamicin type ring system.
