Stilbenophane analogues of deoxycombretastatin A-4

J Org Chem. 2005 Aug 5;70(16):6544-7. doi: 10.1021/jo0508393.

Abstract

A new family of polyoxygenated stilbenophanes has been synthesized as conformationally restricted analogues of antimitotic combretastatins. By means of the McMurry olefination process, compounds derived from diethyleneglycol and 1,6-hexanediol were obtained, whereas Grubbs' catalyst failed in producing the ring-closing metathesis to this kind of macrocyclic products.
