An enantioselective synthesis of tert-butyl (5S,6R)-(E)-5-tert- butyldimethylsilyloxy-6-methyl-2,7-octadienoate, a precursor for the synthesis of the antimitotic macrolides cryptophycin A and arenastatin A (cryptophycin-24), is presented. The key step in the reaction sequence features a crotyl boration that sets both stereocenters that become the C16 hydroxyl and C1' methyl in the cryptophycins. Homologation of the terminal olefin via a Heck reaction is presented.

A hybrid structure was synthesized in which one portion is characteristic of a cryptophycin and a second sector bears the signature of an epothilone. The hybrid, in contrast to parent cryptophycin and epothilone systems, showed no effect on the tubulin as

Two efficient protocols for the synthesis of tert-butyl (5S,6R,2E,7E)-5-[(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-oxy]-6-methyl-8-phenyl-2,7-octadie noate, a major component of the cryptophycins, are reported. The first utilized the Noyori reduction and Frater alkylation of methyl 5-benzyloxy-3-oxopentanoate to set two stereogenic centers, which became the C16 hydroxyl and C1' methyl of the cryptophycins. The second approach started from 3-p-methoxybenzyloxypropanal and a crotyl borane reagent derived from (-)-α-pinene to set both stereocenters in a single step and provided the dephenyl analogue, tert-butyl (5S,6R,2E)-5-[(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy]-6-methyl-2,7-octadienoate, in five steps. This compound was readily converted to the 8-phenyl compound via Heck coupling. The silanyloxy esters were efficiently deprotected and coupled to the C2-C10 amino acid fragment to provide desepoxyarenastatin A and its dephenyl analogue. The terminal olefin of the latter was further elaborated via Heck coupling. Epoxidation provided cryptophycin-24 (arenastatin A).
