A highly convergent total synthesis of 12,13-desoxyepothilone B (4, Epothilone D) is described involving the coupling of vinyl iodide (5) and olefin (6). Key steps in the synthesis are the introduction of chirality at C15 via highly enantioselective lipas

A series of new epothilone B and D analogues incorporating fused hetero-aromatic side chains have been prepared. The synthetic strategy is based on olefin 3 as the common intermediate and allows variation of the side-chain structure in a highly convergent and stereoselective manner. Epothilone analogues 1a-d and 2a-d are more potent inhibitors of cancer cell proliferation than the corresponding parent epothilones B orD. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
