Enantioselective synthesis of the core trans ‐4,5,9,10‐tetrahydroxy‐9,10‐dihydrophenanthrene parent system of the antibiotics benanimicin, pradimicin and FD 594 has been accomplished. The synthesis employs a chiral tether approach and makes use of efficient central to axial to central chirality transfer. Key to success was an “imine‐directed” atropdiastereoselective Ullmann coupling under mild reaction conditions. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2007)
