	abstract = {<p>A flexible and efficient asymmetric route to the synthesis of a 12-membered macrolactone core and a 6-epi analogue of amphidinolide W has been accomplished from commercially available 4-pentenoic acid. The successful generation of stereocenters was achieved by utilizing an Evans{\textquoteright} chiral auxiliary-based alkylation and aldol reaction. Other key reactions such as a Julia-Kocienski olefination, Kita{\textquoteright}s macrolactonization, ring closing metathesis (RCM) reaction, and Yamaguchi{\textquoteright}s esterification were significant for the construction of the macrolactone cores.
