Auf Grund ihrer beachtlichen Aktivität gegen verschiedene Tumorarten haben die Anthracycline in letzter Zeit erhöhte Bedeutung gewonnen. Verschiedene Arbeitsgruppen haben sich insbesondere mit dem Aufbau des Anthracyclinon-Ring- 60 systems durch Diensynthese beschäftigt, doch blieben an mancher Stelle in bezug auf Ausbeuten und Zahl der Reaktionsschritte in der Totalsynthese noch Wünsche offen (S. Blechert, Nachr. Chem. Tech. Lab. 27,7 [1979]). Due to their considerable activity against various types of tumors, the anthracyclines have recently become increasingly important. Various working groups have dealt in particular with the structure of the anthracyclinone ring system through diene synthesis, but at some points there were still wishes unanswered regarding the yields and number of reaction steps in total synthesis (S. Blechert, Nachr. Chem. Tech. Lab 27.7 [1979]).
