A bicycle built for tubulin : The total synthesis of (+)‐chamaecypanone C has been achieved by using a tandem retro‐Diels–Alder/Diels–Alder cascade reaction (see scheme). Initial biological studies demonstrate that (+)‐chamaecypanone C is an inhibitor of tubulin assembly and binds at the colchicine site.
