The total synthesis of the cytotoxic antitumour natural product epothilone C has provided a stage for the exploitation and further development of immobilized reagent methods. A stereoselective convergent synthetic strategy was applied, incorporating polymer-supported reagents, catalysts, scavengers and catch-and-release techniques to avoid frequent aqueous work-up and chromatographic purification.

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.

Total syntheses of the microtubule stabilizing antitumor drugs epothilone B and D are described, starting from optically pure (S)-malic acid and methyl (R)-3-hydroxy-2-methylpropionate. The synthesis is highly convergent by coupling the three fragments C1-C6 (fragment D), C7-C10 (fragment C), and C11-C21 (fragment B). Key steps are two stereoselective Wittig type olefinations to generate the 12,13- and 16,17-double bonds, an enantioselective Mukaiyama aldol addition to synthesize fragment D, and a sulfone anion allyl iodide alkylation to connect fragments B and C. Finally fragment D was attached to the B + C fragment via aldol addition.
Epothilone B and its derivatives as novel antitumor drugs: Total and partial synthesis and biological evaluation

Microtubule stabilizing natural products, as exemplified by paclitaxel (taxolR), are being considered as novel drugs against malignant therapy resistent solid tumors. Among these compounds, epothilone B and some of its derivatives have emerged as particularly promising candidates for industrial development. The total and partial syntheses of these compounds are described in detail, and some of the most important recent results on their biological activity are discussed.
Easy access to the epothilone family - Synthesis of epothilone B
Mulzer, Johann,Mantoulidis, Andreas,Oehler, Elisabeth
, p. 8633 - 8636 (2007/10/03)
An easy access to four out of five naturally occurring epothilones (A- E, 1-5) is reported. Key steps are an enantioselective Mukaiyama type aldol reaction, (E)- and (Z)-selective olefinations, and a sulfone alkylation.
