โฆ Synopsis
Total Synthesis of (-)-Epothilone A. -A key step in the synthesis of the title antitumor natural product is the highly stereoselective aldol reaction of the optically active building blocks (I) and (II). Esterification of the product (IV) with the subunit (V) leads to the stereochemically homogeneous completely functionalized fragment (VI), which in a key ring-closure metathesis step yields (VII). This highly convergent synthetic sequence can be easily extended to analogues that are very important in view of their biological activity.
