The synthesis is scalable and features a Stille coupling and a Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation as the key steps. The key intermediate has been parleyed into homocamptothecin and an assortment of fluorinated homocamptothecins and homosilatecans (7-silylhomocamptothecins), thereby providing the first asymmetric entry to this important new class of antitumor agents. © 2002 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. date: 2002-08-05 date_type: published publication: Tetrahedron volume: 58 number: 32 pagerange: 6329 - 6341 refereed: TRUE issn: 0040-4020 id_number: 10.1016/S0040-4020(02)00632-4 citation: Gabarda, AE and Du, W and Isarno, T and Tangirala, RS and Curran, DP (2002) Asymmetric total synthesis of (20R)-homocamptothecin, substituted homocamptothecins and homosilatecans.
