Our strategy features a thiazole anion addition to assemble the tubuvaline residue at the C(10)-C(11) bond, as well as acylations at N5, N14, and N 17. This iterative coupling approach, as well as the removal of the labile N,O-acetal at N14, enables the synthesis of analogues for detailed studies of structure-activity relationships in this family of potent tubulin disrupters. © 2007 American Chemical Society. date: 2007-04-12 type: Article type: PeerReviewed format: text/plain language: en rights: attached identifier: http://d-scholarship-dev.library.pitt.edu/19840/1/licence.txt identifier: Wipf, P and Wang, Z (2007) Total synthesis of N14-desacetoxytubulysin H.
