The proposed strategies include metathesis, Nozaki–Hiyama–Kishi (NHK) cyclization, Pd-mediated cyclization, radical cyclization (including SmI2), Pauson–Khand reaction, Lewis acid-promoted cyclization, rearrangement, cycloaddition, and biocatalysis. In particular, the purpose will focus on the

Such agents can force the cell to exit mitosis aberrantly, leading to apoptosis [1][2]. Important classes of

Finally, an intramolecular Nozaki–Hiyama–Kishi (NHK) reaction [31][32] of compounds 4a and 4b was used to form the macrolactone at C9–C10. We have previously

Next, treatment of each primary alcohol 25a,b with Dess–Martin reagent provided aldehydes 4a and 4b in comparable yields (95% and 94%). Initial NHK reactions were performed in THF
