, p. 3569 - 3575 (2001)
Synthesis of 5-oxo-(3S)-hydroxy-4,4-dimethylheptanoic acid (1), C1-C6 fragment of epothilone A, is described. Racemic tert-butyl 5-oxo-(3S)-acetoxy-4,4-dimethylheptanoate (5) was prepared by acylation of enamine followed by aldol condensation. Optical resolution of the heptanoate 5 was carried out by lipase catalyzed hydrolysis (yield 50%, > 98% e.e.).

A convergent, total synthesis of epothilones B (2) and D (4) is described. The key steps are Normant coupling to establish the desired (Z)-stereochemistry at C12-C13, Wadsworth-Emmons olefination of methyl ketone 28 with the phosphonate ester 8, diastereoselective aldol condensation of aldehyde 5 with the enolate of keto acid derivatives to form the C6-C7 bond, selective deprotection of acid 52, and macrolactonization.
