Here, a concise and highly convergent synthesis of epothilone D was investigated, relying on fragments of equal complexity that could be prepared in gram scale quantities. The strategy to construct the fragments includes the use of a previously reported enantiospecific zinc-catalyzed cross-coupling of an α-hydroxy ester triflate with a Grignard reagent, the application of a hydroboration/boron–magnesium exchange sequence for the rapid construction of the Z-substituted trisubstituted double bond present in the natural product, and a Noyori-type hydrogenation to install the β-hydroxy ester moiety of the southern part. The key to success is the diastereoselective head-to-tail macrolactonization by an intramolecular addition of the corresponding ω-alkynyl-substituted carboxylic acids to construct a new stereocenter in the macrocyclic core structure in one single step.
TANDEM ORGANOMETALLIC ADDITION REACTIONS TO N-METHOXY-UREAS AND URETHANES IN THE PREPARATION OF UNSYMMETRICAL AND SYMMETRICAL KETONES

The use of novel reagents 1a-c for the synthesis of ketones in a one pot reaction is described.An interesting leaving group effect was discovered in the fragmentation of the proposed complexes 2 to the intermediate N-methoxyamides 3.
