Abstract

The total synthesis of furano-epothilone D by a convergent route is reported. The key fragments are available on a large scale to provide sufficient material for biological evaluation. The approach involves a palladium-catalyzed coupling that generates a highly functionalized aldehyde which is connected in a stereoselective aldol reaction to yield the framework of furano-epothilone D. Finally, a macrolactonization provides furano-epothilone D.
