Abstract
The highly strained but relatively stable analogue 1 of the neocarzinostatin chromophore was synthesized by a transannular [2,3]‐Wittig rearrangement and characterized. Diyne 1 is the first analogue of this type with DNA cleaving activity and may thus have potential as an anticancer agent. (Figure Presented.)
