Studies on the total synthesis of mumbaistatin, the strongest natural inhibitor of G6P-T1, have culminated in the synthesis of a 4″,8-dideoxy analogue. Key steps include a Diels-Alder reaction for the construction of the functionalized anthraquinone, a palladium-catalyzed Stille coupling to generate a tetra-ortho-substituted diarylmethane, and a titanium-mediated alkynylation of an aldehyde to complete the carbon skeleton of mumbaistatin. Radical bromination of the methylene bridge afforded a lactone, which resembles the target structure in its cyclized form. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.
