Addition of acetylide to the seven-membered ketone 5, followed by construction of the enediyne bow, provided access to the enediyne aldehyde 15. Treatment of the aldehyde 15 with KN(SiMe3)2 and trapping of the intermediate alkoxide furnished the [7.3.2]enediyne 16 with a bridgehead double bond. Hydroboration of 16 allowed the functionalization of the two-carbon bridge to give the enediyne 17. Both enediynes proved to be stable upon heating in CCl4 for several hours.
