Article Title: Total synthesis of (-)-epothilone B: An extension of the Suzuki coupling method and insights into structure-activity relationships of the epothilones
Abstract: The highest biological activities displayed by epothilone-related compounds have been found for epothilone B (1) and a derivative that was prepared en route to the natural product. Key steps in the total synthesis were a Suzuki coupling providing a trisubstituted double bond in the macrocycle and its subsequent stereoselective epoxidation with dimethyldioxirane.
