(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.
