The stereoselective synthesis of the three major fragments (C1–C9, C10–C17, and C19–C26) of an antimitotic marine macrolide, (–)‐dictyostatin, has been achieved with a desymmetrization strategy and Oppolzer syn and anti aldol protocols as the key reactions. Takai olefination and Sonogashira coupling reactions were successfully utilized to establish the 2 Z ,4 E ‐dienoate portion of the C1–C9 fragment and Stille coupling for the Z ‐diene core of C19–C26.
