Total synthesis and biological evaluation of 11-desmethyllaulimalide, a highly potent simplified laulimalide analogue.
Org Lett. 2006; (7): 1507-10
[reaction: see text] A step-economical synthesis of 11-desmethyllaulimalide (2) is reported. This simplified analogue is available through an improved second-generation synthetic approach to the laulimalides, in a shorter step count and from much less expensive starting material than the parent compound. This new lead retains the anticancer function of laulimalide.
