Benzosuberene 8 is a tubulin polymerization inhibitor that possesses remarkable potency against a variety of cancer cell lines. Herein, an efficient synthetic route for 8 is described featuring a Claisen rearrangement/RCM sequence and a late stage Suzuki coupling as the key steps. By adopting this strategy 8 was synthesized in eight steps in 18% overall yield starting from known compound 18. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
