ChemInform Abstract
Aldol reaction and esterification coupling of the key building blocks ( I), (II), and (V) lead to the olefin metathesis precursors (VI) and ( VII). Starting from (VI) epothilone A (X) is obtained. Similar strategies with (VII) and further transformation of (IX) yield several analogues.
