A general strategy has been devised for the stereoselective synthesis of 12,13-cyclopropyl-epothilone B and side-chain-modified variants thereof, which relies on late stage introduction of the heterocycle through Wittig olefination of ketone 14. Formation of the macrocycle was achieved through RCM-based ring closure and introduction of the cyclopropane moiety involved a highly selective Charette cyclopropanation of allylic alcohol 7.
