The synthesis of the C7-C17 segment of epothilones employing a ring closing metathesis is described. Our approach utilizes the stereoselective methylation of the 10-membered lactone, generated by ring closing metathesis, for introducing the methyl group at C8 and provides an efficient access to strained epothilone derivatives, as well as to the C7-C17 segment of epothilones.
