(+)-CombretastatinD-1 was prepared with modest enantioselectivity by Jacobsen epoxidation of combretastatin D-2 acetate. The configuration of (+)-combretastatin was shown to be (3R,4S) based on precedent from the Jacobsen epoxidation, and an advanced Mosher ester analysis of a derivative. The stereochemistry of natural (−)-combretastatin should be corrected to (3S,4R).
