Abstract

Eleutherobin is a cytotoxic agent with microtubule stabilizing properties. A formal total synthesis of eleutherobin was accomplished by accessing a key-intermediate reported by Danishefsky and co-workers in their 1998 synthesis of the natural product. The key-step of our strategy, used for obtaining the [8.4.0] fused bicyclic ring system, is a ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reaction of a densely functionalized diene under forcing conditions, using Grubbs' second-generation catalyst.
