The total syntheses of (+)-inthomycin A, (+)-inthomycin B and (−)-inthomycin C, the oxazole-triene antibiotics isolated from Streptomyces sp., have been accomplished via the highly enantio- and stereoselective construction of the C1–C7 (iododienyl)aldol units by taking advantage of a Cinchona alkaloid-catalyzed asymmetric β-lactone synthesis and their isomerisation-free Stille coupling with (E)-5-
