[structure--see text] A semisynthetic route to epothilone cyclopropanes from epothilones A and B is described. Of significance, the deoxygenation of the 12, 13-epoxide to give the corresponding olefin was achieved with high efficiency. The title compounds (8, 9) were active in both tubulin polymerization and cytotoxicity assays, which is in direct contrast to a previously published report. These results provide further evidence that the role of the 12,13-epoxide of epothilones is largely conformational and argue against some of the current pharmacophore models.
Concise total syntheses of epothilone A and C based on alkyne metathesis
Fuerstner,Mathes,Grela
, p. 1057 - 1059 (2001)
A ring closing alkyne metathesis reaction catalyzed by the molybdenum complex 26 followed by a Lindlar reduction of the resulting cycloalkyne product opens an efficient and stereoselective entry into epothilone A and C.
Total synthesis of epothilone A: The macrolactonization approach
Nicolaou,Sarabia,Ninkovic,Yang
, p. 525 - 527 (1997)
This highly convergent and practical total synthesis of the antitumor agent epothilone A uses a macrolactonization as the key step. The strategy may provide access to a variety of epothilones desirable for biological screening.

A total synthesis of epothilones using solid-supported reagents and scavengers
Storer, R. Ian,Takemoto, Toshiyasu,Jackson, Philip S.,Ley, Steven V.
, p. 2521 - 2525 (2007/10/03)
A total synthesis of epothilone C(1) with concomitant formal synthesis of epothilone A is described, using immobilized reagents and scavengers to effect multistep synthetic transformations and purifications.
