The Total Synthesis of Epothilone D as a Yardstick for Probing New Methodologies
Haydl, Alexander M.,Breit, Bernhard
, p. 541 - 545 (2017/01/18)
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.

Epothilone D (Epo D) and its 9-Methyl conformational analogues were synthesized through a highly efficient combinatorial approach. The fragment E was synthesized in 11 total steps with 6 longest linear steps, and each aldehyde B was prepared via a 3-step sequence. Starting from the common precursor E and a suitable aldehydes B, each target molecule were obtained in only 4 steps. The 9-(S)-epo D and 9-(R)-epo D demonstrated significant difference in inhibition activities against cancer cell lines and in conformational analysis.

An efficient total synthesis of (-)-epothilone B has been achieved in ca. 8% yield over 11 steps from 9 (or 10 steps from 7/8), which features a bissiloxane-tethered ring closing metathesis reaction to approach the trisubstituted (Z) double bond and forms a new basis for further development of an industrial process for epothilone B and ixabepilone.
