Popis: Deoxyelephantopin is a sesquiterpene lactone that was reported to be as effective in the treatment of mammary tumours and lung metastasis as taxol based on a murine orthotopic cancer model. Its germacrene skeleton harbours three Michael acceptors that can potentially engage a target covalently. Its strained 10-membered ring is densely functionalised and represents an important synthetic challenge. We herein describe our studies towards deoxyelephantopins using a ring-closing metathesis approach and report some unexpected observations.
