title: Enantioselective approaches to potential MetAP-2 reversible inhibitors.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Enantioselective deprotonation of 4-substituted cyclohexanones and highly stereoselective conjugate addition of higher order mixed cuprates were the key steps in a concise synthesis of fumagalone-related molecules. The origin of the (low) biological activity of the new compounds as compared to fumagalone is briefly discussed.
