Total synthesis of lucilactaene, a cell cycle inhibitor active in p53-inactive cells

J Am Chem Soc. 2005 Nov 23;127(46):16038-9. doi: 10.1021/ja056217g.

Abstract

Hetero-bis-metalated 1,3-butadiene is employed in the lynchpin coupling of synthetic fragments of the side chain of the antitumor agent, lucilactaene. Sequential Stille and Suzuki-Miyaura couplings interpolate this unique boron/tin diene into the pentaene chain. The total synthesis of lucilactaene was accomplished efficiently, in just eight linear steps.
