The 15-membered caffrane ring of the natural product group of combretastatins D is synthesized in high yield with suitably functionalized saturated seco acids. The key step is a Mitsunobu-type macrolactonization. A common synthon is used for the construct
Synthesis of combretastatin D-2. An efficient route to caffrane macrolactones

Combretastatin D-2, (1), was synthesized via a 10 step sequence. Macrolactonization was performed saturated substrate 12 in high yield and the double bond was established via dehalogenation of intermediate 15.
