title: Application of hitherto unexplored macrocyclization strategies in the epothilone series: novel epothilone analogs by total synthesis.
abstract: A total synthesis of Epothilone 490 and a synthesis of 11-hydroxy dEpoB utilizing a vinyl-boronate cross-metathesis followed by a Suzuki macrocyclization. A mild route to reach aldehydes from terminal olefins, anticipating Nozaki-Kishi macrocyclization is described.
