(Chemical Equation Presented) A second generation total synthesis of the potent antitumor agent (+)-phorboxazole A (1) has been achieved. The cornerstone of this approach comprises a more convergent strategy, involving late-stage Stille union of a fully e

The convergent syntheses of the C(1-32) and C(33-46) domains of phorboxazole B are described. An iterative cyclocondensation strategy exploited the Jacobsen hetero-Diels-Alder (HDA) reaction as a platform for the synthesis of both the C(5-9) and C(11-15) tetrahydropyran rings. The use of 2-silyloxydiene coupling partners bearing an increasing resemblance to the phorboxazole skeleton was found to lead to a reduction in diastereoselectivity, however, in the case of the C(11-15) ring. The coupling of aldehyde 21 and 2-silyloxydiene 20 by this route provided a C(1-32) fragment which was elaborated to the macrolide core of phorboxazole B. The synthesis of the C(33-46) domain involved a Nozaki-Kishi coupling of aldehyde 31 and vinyl iodide 39. The syntheses of 31 and 39 were highly diastereoselective: an Evans [Cu(Ph-pybox)](SbF6)2-catalysed Mukaiyama aldol reaction formed the cornerstone of the synthesis of 31 whilst a Nagao-Fujita acetate aldol reaction provided a convenient means of installing the sole stereogenic centre of 39.

A highly convergent, stereocontrolled total synthesis of the potent antiproliferative agent (+)-phorboxazole A (1) has been achieved. Highlights of the synthesis include: modified Petasis-Ferrier rearrangements for assembly of both the C(11 - 15) and C(22-26) cis-tetrahydropyran rings; extension of the Julia olefination to the synthesis of enol ethers; the design, synthesis, and application of a novel bifunctional oxazole linchpin; and Stille coupling of a C(28) trimethyl stannane with a C(29) oxazole triflate. The longest linear sequence leading to (+)-phorboxazole A (1) was 27 steps, with an overall yield of 3%.
