This manuscript describes an alternativesyntheticapproach for (+)-phomopsidin, which shows strong inhibitory activity against the assembly of microtubule proteins. We observed that the TADA reaction of the macrolactone 5 with the reversed C11 configuration provided the desired cycloadduct 6 in 86% yield with excellent stereoselectivity (dr=16:1). Luche reduction of the ketone derived from the major
