The convergent total synthesis of hypermodified epothilone analogs 1 and 2 has been achieved with the stereoselective cyclopropanation of allylic alcohol 17 and ring-closing olefin metathesis with diene 22 as the key steps. In spite of significant structural differences between these analogs and the natural epothilone scaffold, 1 and 2 are potent inducers of tubulin polymerization and inhibit the growth of human cancer cells in vitro with sub-nM IC50 values.
