Rising to the challenge : Stephacidin B is an antitumor antibiotic isolated from the fungi Aspergillus ochraceus (see picture). Recently, two elegant approaches to the enantioselective synthesis of this dimeric N ‐hydroxyindole alkaloid were reported that pave the way to a series of medicinally attractive stephacidin analogues.
