The conformation-activity relationships for the biologically active polyketide, epothilone, have been determined. Computer-based molecular modeling and high field NMR techniques have provided the solution preferences for epothilones 1 and 2. For the C1-C8

(Matrix presented) A highly convergent total synthesis of the natural products epothilone B and D is described. The route is highlighted by efficient generation of a C12-C13 trisubstituted olefin which exploits a sequential Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi coupling and a stereoselective thionyl chloride rearrangement.
